Question

Your friend shows you a coin collection. In it 45/50 of the coins are quarters. what percent of the coins are quarters?

Answer 1

Answer:

90% of them are quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take 50 and multiply it by two, you get 100. But, in order to get the right number, you have to multiply 45 by two as well. 45 x 2 is 90. 90 out of 100 is 90 percent. So 90% is the answer.

Answer 2

90% because to find 100% in this fraction you will have to multiply to bottom to get one hundred thus having to do the same to the top getting 90 out of one hundred.
