Answer:

The statement is not reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection.

We cannot give more than what we have.

lets understand it mathematically.

suppose i have x stamp.

according to question, i have to give 130% of my stamp collection

130% of x = 130/100 x = 1.3x

so, i have to given 1.3x stamp while i do have only x stamp which does not make any sense.

maximum i can give is x stamp.

x stamp in percentage of my total stamp collection which is also x will be

= x/x*100 = 100%

Thus, maximum one can give is 100% of what he has.

Thus, we can say that Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection is not reasonable.
