Question

Larry is collecting one coin each year from 1952 to 2000. If Larry has collected 40% of the coins, how many does he have left to collect?

Answer 1

29 coins

Explanation:

Larry needs to collect
`60\%` of the coins still
`0.6`.
`2000-1952=48(+1)` because you're including 1952
`=49`.
`49×0.6=29.4≈49`.
