Answer:

60¢

Explanation:


(2)/(5)(100) = 40

Multiply 100 by 2 to get 200, then divide that product by 5 to get 40. Then use Subtraction to figure out how much money she has left over:

-40 + 100 = 60

So, Sherri has 60¢ remaining in her possession.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

There are 100 cents in one dollar.

2/5 of 100 = 2(20) = 40

100 - 40 = 60

Sherri has 60 cents left.
