❖  Troy has 27 nickels.

First, subtract to find the remaining coins:

83 - 47 = 36

Percents are out of 100% so set up 75% as a fraction to find how many nickels. 75/100 can be simplified:

75 ÷ 25      3

         =  ---

100 ÷ 25     4

Multiply 3/4 by the remaining number of coins to get the number of nickels that Troy has:

3      36

--   x

4          

You can cross simplify:

3      9

--  x      =   27

Hi there!

We need to find two fractions which equals to 100/200.

The first we need to do, is put 100/200 into decimal. 100/200 is 0.5

So, we gonna do the same thing for all the other fractions and then we will pick two of them that equals to 0.5

So we have

10/22 = 0.45

66/133 = 0.49

55/110 = 0.5

10,000/20,000 = 0.5

Those are the two fractions that equal to 100/200

I hope this helps!

Please let me know if you have questions about the answer.

Thanks!
