Question 612640
please help me solve this math problem: a coin purse contains three dimes, three nickels, and five pennies. Express, in percent, the value of the money represented by nickels.


The 3 nickels represent 15c (3 * .05), out of a total value of 50c (30c + 15c + 5c)


Therefore, we have: {{{(15/50) * 100}}} = {{{(15/1cross(50)) * 2cross(100)}}}, or {{{highlight_green(30)}}}%
