Answer:

89% of Angel's action figure collection keeps on his wall.

Explanation:

Percentages

To calculate the X% of a quantity Y, we must multiply both numbers and divide by 100:

X% of Y = X * Y / 100

For example, 15% of 780 = 15 * 780 / 100 = 117

If we want to know what percentage is m with respect to n, we proceed as follows:

percentage = m / n * 100%

Anges has a 300 action figures collection, 267 of which are kept on his wall. Here m=267, n=300, thus:

percentage = 267 / 300 * 100% = 89%

89% of Angel's action figure collection keeps on his wall.
