Answer 2

Answer: 49

Explanation:

If 72% of the stamps he collected were

foreign, the percentage of the other stamps will be: = (100% - 72%) = 28%

Since the total number of stamps collected are 175, the number of other stamps collected will be:

= 28% of 175

= 28% × 175

= 28/100 × 175

= 0.28 × 175

= 49

Therefore, he collected 49 other stamps that were not foreign
