- How many stamps did Nick receive in all?
- What percentage of the stamps that Nick received were local stamps?
(a)
Number of local stamps given
= 45% x 220
=
45100 x 220
= 99
Number of foreign stamps given to Nick
= 10% x 110
=
10100 x 110
= 11
Number of stamps received by Nick
= 99 + 11
= 110
(b)
Percentage of stamps received that were local stamps
=
99110 x 100%
= 90%
Answer(s): (a) 110; (b) 90%
