Question

A collection of coins contains 15 pennies, 14 dimes and 6 quarters. What is the percentage of pennies in the collection?

Answer 1

Answer:

42.9%

Explanation:

the total number of coins is 15+14+6 = 35

so to find the % of pennies, divide the number of pennies by the total number of coins and times it all by 100

15/35 x 100 = 42.9%
