Question

Jackson has a collection of 260 coins. How many coins represent 5% of his collection?

Answer 1

13 coins

Explanation:

5% of his collection means that we are asking for 5 coins per 100 coins in his current collection. This can be simplified into 5/100 of the collection, which is 1/20. If there are 260 coins in his collection, 1/20 x 260 = 13 coins.

100% --> 260

1% --> 2.6
