Kelvin collected some local and foreign stamps. 2/3 of them were local stamps and the rest
were foreign stamps. After he gave away 5/6 of his local stamps and 125 foreign stamps, he
had 1/6 of his stamps left.
(a) How many stamps did Kelvin give away?
(b) What fraction of his stamps given away were local stamps?

If he started with x stamps, then
x - (5/6)(2/3 x) - 125 = 1/6 x
solve for x, and then you can answer the questions
