Question

Michael has collected 900 total coins. Of those

coins, 37% were minted in the year 1900 or
earlier. How many coins does Michael have that
were minted in 1900 or earlier?

Answer 1

333 coins

Explanation:

Simply multiply 37% by the total number of coins, 900:

37%(900)

= (37/100)(900)

= (900 / 100) * 37

= 9 * 37

= 333 coins

Also, optionally check this by dividing 333 by 900 to get 0.37:

333 ÷ 900 = 0.37 = 37%
