ers What porcent of the coins are quarters?

Answer 1

Explanation:

If 50% of the coins are quarters, then the remaining 50% must be other types of coins.

Therefore, the percentage of coins that are not quarters is 100% - 50% = 50%.

We know that 44% of the coins are not quarters, so we can subtract this percentage from 50% to find the percentage of coins that are quarters:

50% - 44% = 6%

Therefore, 6% of the coins are quarters.
