Question

Ayana has 220 coins in her piggy bank Of those 40percent are pennies. Out of the coins that are not pennies 25 percent are partners how many of the coins are partners

Answer 1

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.

First we find the number of pennies.

40% of 220 =

= 40% * 220

= 0.4 * 220

= 88

88 coins are pennies.

220 - 88 = 132

132 coins are not pennies.

Now we find 25% of 132.

25% of 132 =

= 25% * 132

= 0.25 * 132

= 33

33 coins are partners.

(Did you mean quarters instead of partners?)
