There are 6 pennies in a total of 150 coins.
Given that,
Ninety of the 150 coins are quarters. 40 percent of the remaining coins are nickels, with the remainder being dimes and pennies.
and also,
For every penny, there are five dime.
Total = 150 coins
Out of it, 90 are quarters so the remaining coins are 60
It is said that,
In that 60 coins 40% are nickels which means
40% of 60 is 24
So remaining coins are 36 (by subtracting 24 from 60)
It is said that there are 5 dimes for every penny which means
Using Algebra,
x + 5x = 36
6x= 36
x= 6
Therefore, there are 6 pennies in a total of 150 coins.
