Question

Don has an album that holds 500 stamps. Each page of the album holds 5 stamps. If 50​% of the album is​ empty, how many pages are filled with stamps​?

Answer 1

50 pages are filled with stamps.

Explanation:

If 50% of the album is empty, then 50% of the album is filled with stamps.

So, the total number of stamps that the album holds is 500, and half of that (50%) is filled with stamps, which is:

500 * 50% = 250 stamps

Each page holds 5 stamps, so the number of pages filled with stamps is:

250 stamps / 5 stamps per page = 50 pages

Therefore, 50 pages are filled with stamps
