Question

Eric has 240 coins in his collection. 11\20 of his coins are pennies. 4\20 of the coins are nickels. The rest f the coins are quarters. How many of the coins are quarters? Explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:Number of coins that are quarters =60

Explanation:

Total coins in possession of Eric=240

Number of coins that are pennies=11\20 x 240= 132

Number of coins that are nickels=4\20 x 240= 48

Since the rest are quarters,

Number of coins that are quarters =Total coins in possession of Eric -( Number of coins that are pennies+ Number of coins that are nickels)

=240-(132+48)

=240-180

=60
