Question

Kevin has a coin collection. He keeps 5 of the coins in his box, which is 25% of the collection. How many total coins are in his collection?

Answer 1

20 coins

Explanation:

`(5)/((25)/(100) )` = 20

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf Total\ collection = 20\ coins}`

Explanation:

25% of the collection = 5 coins

Total collection = 100%

So,

100% = 25% + 25% + 25% + 25%

100% = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5

100% = 20 coins

Total collection = 20 coins

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
