To find out how many masks Elizabeth keeps on her wall, we need to calculate 65% of her total collection of 420 masks.
We can do this by using the formula for percentage:
\[
\text{Number of masks on wall} = \text{Total masks} \times \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}
\]
Substituting in the values:
\[
\text{Number of masks on wall} = 420 \times \frac{65}{100}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Number of masks on wall} = 420 \times 0.65 = 273
\]
Therefore, Elizabeth keeps **273 masks** on her wall.
