well to start write it as probability. 240/600. then you would divide. and 240/600=0.4, which is 40%

40 % of coins are pennies.

Explanation:

Total number of coins = 600

Total number of pennies = 240


\texttt{Percentage of the coins are pennies=}\frac{\texttt{Total number of pennies}}{\texttt{Total number of coins}}* 100\\\\\texttt{Percentage of the coins are pennies=}(240)/(600)* 100\\\\\texttt{Percentage of the coins are pennies=}(240)/(6)\\\\\texttt{Percentage of the coins are pennies=}(120)/(3)\\\\\texttt{Percentage of the coins are pennies=}40\%

40 % of coins are pennies.
