Question

Esteban has a big jar of change in his room. He has 600 coins total, and 240 of them are pennies. What percentage of the coins are pennies?

Answer 1

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of this problem would be 240/600 and because a percent is over 100 you would have to solve for that. To make 600 to be 100 you would divide it by 6, and do it for both sides.

$\frac{240}{600}$ ÷ $6$ = 40/100

So the percent would be 40%

Hope that helps and have a great day!
