- How many stamps did Zane receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Zane received were local stamps?
(a)
Number of local stamps given
= 45% x 180
=
45100 x 180
= 81
Number of foreign stamps given to Zane
= 10% x 90
=
10100 x 90
= 9
Number of stamps received by Zane
= 81 + 9
= 90
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were local stamps
=
8190 x 100%

Answer(s): (a) 90; (b) 90%
