Question

of the coins made by the U.S Mint in one year, 70% were pennies and 3% were quarters. Suppose you could have all of the coins of one type . Alex says you would get more money if you had all the pennies. Austin says you would get more money if you had all the quarters. Jenna says it depends on how many of the two coins were made. who is right and why

Answer 1

Austin is right, you get more money taking the quarters because of the ratio produced. 70 pennies are produced for every 3 quarters

but 3 quarters = 75 pennies

So the quarters will always be worth more money.
