- How many stamps did Flynn receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Flynn received were foreign stamps?
(a)
Number of foreign stamps given
= 55% x 80
=
55100 x 80
= 44
Number of local stamps given to Flynn
= 15% x 40
=
15100 x 40
= 6
Number of stamps received by Flynn

= 50
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were foreign stamps
