Her bank can hold 360 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her bank was half full. Then, when she adds 120. It is 2/3. This would mean the 120 is 2/6 the amount the bank can hold. You would multiply that by 3 to get the total amount. That amount being 360.

Do you have any questions? Did I calculate something wrong?

Please tell me! I am happy to help people!
