Answer 1

If Dingane has $8.00, and thirty percent of that money is from five cent coins, then 8 x 0.3 = $2.40 of Dingane's money is made of five cent coins. In this case the number of five cent coins is the number of cents divided by five: 240/5 = 48. Therefore, Dingane has forty-eight five-cent coins.
