Hello!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

❖ Troy has 27 nickels.

First, subtract to find the remaining coins:

83 - 47 = 36

Percents are out of 100% so set up 75% as a fraction to find how many nickels. 75/100 can be simplified:

75 ÷ 25 3

---- = ---

100 ÷ 25 4

Multiply 3/4 by the remaining number of coins to get the number of nickels that Troy has:

3 36

-- x

4

You can cross simplify:

3 9

-- x = 27

1

Troy has 27 nickels.
