Answer:

a. 40%

b. 8%

c. 135%

Step-by-step explanation:

4 dimes is 40 cents out of 100 cents, so that's 40%. 1 nickel is 5 cents and 3 pennies are 3 cents, which adds up to 8 cents out of 100 potential cents, so 8%. 5 quarters is 1.25 dollars and a dime is 10 cents, together it makes 1.35 dollars. Multiply that by 100 since there are 100 cents in a dollar and you get 135%
