Question

Connor collected 80 stamps last year. This year he increased his collection by 20%. How many stamps are in his collection?

Answer 1

96 stamps

Explanation:

We know

Connor collected 80 stamps last year. This year he increased his collection by 20%.

80 stamps = 100%

100% + 20% = 120%

So, this year he collected 120% of the number of stamps from last year.

120% = 1.2

How many stamps are in his collection?

We take

80 times 1.2 = 96 stamps

So, there are 96 stamps in his collection.
