pages are filled with stamps?

Answer 1

Answer:

87 pages are filled with stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to know how many stamps are in the album. Since it can hold 500 but is missing 13%, we can say that it is 87% (100-13=87) complete.

500*0.87=435

The album has 435 stamps.

A page can hold 5 stamps. Thus, 435/5=87
