The whole value can be found by using a phenomenon known as proportion

What is percentage?

A figure or ratio stated as a fraction of 100 is called a percentage. Although the abbreviations "pct.", "pct.", and occasionally "pc" are also used, the percent symbol, "%," is frequently used to indicate it. A % is a number without dimensions and without a measurement system.

Now we are given a percent p of a value let us say x and that value be v

We have to find the initial value let us say that value to be 'P'

To find that we use proportion

That is ratio of value to their respective percentage will be equal

Hence we will have

P/100 = v/ x

P= (v/x)*100

Hence we get the initial value

otez555 [7]

So,

To find the percentage that the copper comprises, just divide the amount of copper by the total amount of metal in the coin. In this case, we will change the denominator so that it is 100, which can easily be converted into a percentage, which is really just a fraction out of 100.

$\frac{3.75}{5} = \frac{7.50}{10} = \frac{75}{100}$

75%

75% of the metal in the coin is copper.

Answer:

D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

You would add $6.00 to $13.20, making 19.20, subtracting 4 x $1.55 (6.2) leaves you with $13, the cost of the pizza. So therefore, it would be 4d + $13.00 – $6.00 = $13.20; $1.55.
