Answer 1

215-89=126

126/3=42*2=84 pennies

Answer 2

84 pennies

Explanation:

In order to solve this you just have to withdraw the number of the nickels from the total coins:

214-89=126

No from this we know that two thirds of this total coins are pennies, so we multiply this by two thirds:

`126*(2)/(3) \\(252)/(3) =84`

So we know that stella has 84 pennis.
