Q. Serenity has a collection of 140 coins. How many coins represent 10% of her collection?Answer:
Calculate 10% of 140: To find 10% of Serenity's collection, we need to calculate 10% of 140 coins.We use the formula: (Percentage/100)×Total number of items.So, (10/100)×140=0.10×140.
Perform multiplication: Now, we perform the multiplication to find the number of coins. 0.10×140=14.
Check calculation: We check the calculation to ensure there's no math error. 10% of 100 is 10, and 10% of 40 is 4, so 10% of 140 should indeed be 14.
