The total number of coins in Lucy's coin collection is equal to 80 coins.

Let the total number of coins be C.

Given the following data:

Percentage of quarters = 15%

Total number of quarters = 12 quarters

To the total number of coins in Lucy's coin collection:

Since the percentage of the quarters in Lucy's coin collection is equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of coins. Thus, we would multiply the total number of coins by 15% and equate it to 12 quarters.

Total number of coins:

$\frac{15}{100} \times C = 12\\\\15C=12 \times 100\\\\15C =1200\\\\C=\frac{1200}{15}$

C = 80 coins.

How do you evaluate the expression |4/13|

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Hi there!

First, you need to find the quotient of 4 and 13, obviously.

4/13 is equal to roughly 0.308.

Those grouping symbols around it tell you that you need to find the absolute value.

Absolute value is how far away a number is from 0 on a number line. 3, for example has a absolute value of 3, and -6 has an absolute value of 6.

So, the absolute value of 4/13 is about 0.308.

Hope this helps. :)
