Emily collected 120 local stamps and 120 foreign stamps. She gave 60% of the local stamps and 15% of the foreign stamps to Zeph.
- How many stamps did Zeph receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Zeph received were local stamps?
(a)
Number of local stamps given
= 60% x 120
=
60100 x 120
= 72
Number of foreign stamps given to Zeph
= 15% x 120
=
15100 x 120
= 18
Number of stamps received by Zeph
= 72 + 18
= 90
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were local stamps
=
7290 x 100%
= 80%
Answer(s): (a) 90; (b) 80%
