Question

Question Helen dumped her bag of extra coins and found out that she had saved 512 coins. She separated them and counted 96 nickels. What percent of Helen's coins are nickels?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of Helen's nickels among her saved coins, we can use the formula:

Percentage = (Number of nickels / Total number of coins) * 100

In this case:

Percentage = (96 nickels / 512 coins) * 100

Calculating the percentage:

Percentage ≈ (0.1875) * 100

Percentage ≈ 18.75%

So, 18.75% of Helen's coins are nickels.
