Question

Esteban has a big jar of change in his room. He has 600 coins total, and 240 of them are pennies.

What percentage of the coins are pennies?

Answer 1

40% cuz 240 is almost half of 600

Answer 2

First put it into a fraction 240/600, and reduce it as much as you can,which is 4/10. Now write that as a decimal, .4 then to change to a percentage move the decimal to the right twice and in its place put a percentage sign. 40%. Thus, 40% of esteban's coins are pennies.
