Question

The United States government used to make coins of many different values. For each coin, state its worth as a percentage of $1. Use decimal notation if necessary.

a. 12 cent:
b. 3 cents:
c. 20 cents:
d. $2:
e. $5.

Answer 1

The worth of each coin as a percentage of $1 is: 12 cents = 12%, 3 cents = 3%, 20 cents = 20%, $2 = 200%, and $5 = 500%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To state the worth of each coin as a percentage of $1:

a. 12 cent = 12/100 = 0.12 (12%)

b. 3 cents = 3/100 = 0.03 (3%)

c. 20 cents = 20/100 = 0.20 (20%)

d. $2 = 2/1 = 2 (200%)

e. $5 = 5/1 = 5 (500%)
