Winnie collected 80 local stamps and 120 foreign stamps. She gave 40% of the local stamps and 15% of the foreign stamps to Seth.
- How many stamps did Seth receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Seth received were local stamps?
(a)
Number of local stamps given
= 40% x 80
=
40100 x 80
= 32
Number of foreign stamps given to Seth
= 15% x 120
=
15100 x 120
= 18
Number of stamps received by Seth
= 32 + 18
= 50
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were local stamps
=
3250 x 100%
= 64%
Answer(s): (a) 50; (b) 64%
