Hazel collected 120 foreign stamps and 90 local stamps. She gave 55% of the foreign stamps and 10% of the local stamps to Charlie.
- How many stamps did Charlie receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Charlie received were foreign stamps?
(a)
Number of foreign stamps given
= 55% x 120
=
55100 x 120
= 66
Number of local stamps given to Charlie
= 10% x 90
=
10100 x 90
= 9
Number of stamps received by Charlie
= 66 + 9
= 75
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were foreign stamps
=
6675 x 100%
= 88%
Answer(s): (a) 75; (b) 88%
