Answer 1

1. 50%

2. 3%

3. 20%

4. 200%

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the worth of each coin as a percentage of $1

We simply divide the worth by $1 and multiply by 100%

$1 is same as 100 cents

Thus;

1. 50 cent

= 50/100 * 100% = 50%

2. 3 cents

= 3/100 * 100% = 3%

3. 20 cents

= 20/100 * 100% = 20%

4. $2

= 2/1 * 100% = 200%
