Help
first find total number of all coins
k um 16+28=44+32=76+4=80
Total number of coin that George has 16 + 28 + 32 + 4 = 80 coins total number of coins sold by George = 15% of 80 = 15/100 X 80 = 12 coins
correct...now he sold 15%...so we need to find 15% of 80 turn 15% into a decimal = 0.15 " of " means multiply (0.15)(80) = your answer...you can do the math
