- How many stamps did Sam receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Sam received were local stamps?
(a)
Number of local stamps given
= 40% x 170
=
40100 x 170
= 68
Number of foreign stamps given to Sam
= 20% x 60
=
20100 x 60
= 12
Number of stamps received by Sam
= 68 + 12
= 80
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were local stamps

6880 x 100%

Answer(s): (a) 80; (b) 85%
