Question

Katie has a coin collection she keeps 7 of the coing in the box which is only 14% of her entire collection. What is the total number of coins in katie's collection

Answer 1

14/100x = 7
0.14x = 7
X = 50 coins

Answer 2

x= 50

Explanation:

7/x = 14/100

14x = 700

x = 50

the reason behind my calculations were to get the same ratios and because they gave us percentage and the actual number, we can set them; 14 percent 14/100, however, the 7/x is because we don't know the 100 percent of the coins which is what we look for. Therefore, you cross multiply and get x.

I hope this helped
