Question

Frederick uses his metal detector to search for coins on the beach. He has found both newer and antique coins. He has found 24 newer coins over the past year, witch is 75% of all the coins he has found. What is the total number of coins he has found?

Answer 1

32 coin in all

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the total coins be x

we are given that 75% of x= 24

Step two:

Mathematically we have

75/100*x= 24

0.75x=24

divide both sides by 0.75

x=24/0.75

x=32coins

Hence the total coins is 32
