Question

Blake collects stamps. He collected a total of 275 stamps. If 88% of the stamps he collected were foreign, how many other stamps did he collect?

Answer 1

If 88% of the stamps were foreign, then the remaining 12% must be domestic stamps.

To find out how many domestic stamps Blake collected, we can start by calculating what 12% of 275 is:

12% of 275 = 0.12 x 275 = 33

The remaining stamps are foreign stamps.

Therefore, Blake collected 33 domestic stamps.
