Final answer:

The value of 6 quarters is 150% of the value of a dollar. You find this percentage by multiplying the value of the 6 quarters in cents (150 cents) by 100 and then dividing by the value of a dollar in cents (100 cents).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out what percent the value of 6 quarters is of a dollar, we first need to know the total value of the quarters and then compare that to the value of a dollar. Since one quarter is worth 25 cents, 6 quarters are worth 6 × 25 cents, which equals 150 cents. A dollar is equal to 100 cents.

Now, we calculate the percentage:

  1. Write the ratio of the value of 6 quarters to the value of a dollar: 150 cents / 100 cents.
  2. Divide 150 by 100 to get 1.5.
  3. Convert 1.5 to a percent by multiplying by 100, which gives us 150%.

Therefore, the value of 6 quarters is 150% of the value of a dollar.
