George has a coin collection. 16% of the coins are quarters from the 1990s. If he has 32 quarters from the 1990s, how many total coins does he
have?

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

16% of coins are quarters from 1990

Number of quarters from 1990 = 32

Since 16% = 32 quarters

The number of the total coins can be obtained thus :

Let the total number of coins = x

16% = 32

100% = x

Cross multiply :

0.16x = 32 * 1

0.16x = 32

x = 32 / 0.16

x = 200

Hence, total number of coins in the collection = 200

he is often referred to as a man of twists and turns

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
