Question

He collected a total of 225 . If ​68% of the stamps he collected were​ foreign, how many other stamps did he​ collect?

Answer 1

72 stamps

Explanation:

First, we're looking to find the number of stamps that AREN'T foreign, so we have to subtract 68% from 100%.

• 100% - 68%
• 32%

Now, we know that 32% of the stamps are NOT foreign. So, next, we:

1. Multiply 32 by 225.
2. Divide the product of 32 and 225 by 100

• 
  `32*225`
• 
  `7200`
• 
  `7200/100`
• 
  `72`

Therefore, the answer is 72 stamps.
