Question

George has a small coin collection. He has collected 16 gold coins, 28 silver coins, 32 copper coins, and 4 bronze coins. At a flea market, George sells 15% of his coins. Find the number of coins he sold.

Answer 1

so the question wants you to add all the coins together then subtract 15% SO

16+28+32+4=80
so 15% of 10=10%+5%
5%=1/2 of 10% so
10% of 80=8
5% of 80=10%/2=8/2=4
8+4=12
he sold 12 coins
