c: 120
d: 140

D. 140

Step-by-step explanation:

(D) 140 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

Kate kept seven coins in the box, which is 5% of the entire collection.

This means that 5% of the coins = 7 coins

To find the total number of coins in the box, we need to find 100% of the coins.

5% = 7 coins

To get to 100%, we multiply the equation by 20 (because 5 x 20 is equal to 100).

100% = 7 x 20 = 140 coins

y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

6y=79-25

= 6y= 54

= y=54/6

= y= 9
