When we want the ratio of pennies to the total, we need to first find the total value of the money in pennies. Only then, will the ratio or percentage be sensible.
1 dime = 10 pennies, so 6 dimes = 60 pennies
1 quarter = 25 pennies, so 5 quarters = 125 pennies
The total value of the money = 5 pennies + 60 pennies + 125 pennies
= 190 pennies
The ratio of pennies to the total = 5/190
Expressed as percentage, it would be 5/190 * 100 = 2.63% (approx)
1 dime = 10 pennies, so 6 dimes = 60 pennies
1 quarter = 25 pennies, so 5 quarters = 125 pennies
The total value of the money = 5 pennies + 60 pennies + 125 pennies
= 190 pennies
The ratio of pennies to the total = 5/190
Expressed as percentage, it would be 5/190 * 100 = 2.63% (approx)
