Question

Jane has 1 quarter, 3 dimes, and 4 nickels. What percent of dollar does Jane have?

i know the answer is 44% but can someone please explain how i got 44%??

Answer 1

Answer:

ok so I'm English not a hundred percent sure on your break down of money......so if I'm right in thinking that a nickel = 5 cents, dime = 10cents and a quarter =25cents

you add the amounts together

so 25 + 30 +20 = 75 cents.

there are 100 cents in a dollar so 100/100 X 75=75%

I have no idea how you got to 44%
