Dime = 10 cents
Nickel = 5 cents
Total value of coins = 3(10) + 4(5) = 30 + 20 = 50
To find the percent, first create a fraction. The fraction will be the amount of money that Benjamin has over the total (one dollar).
50 / 100 = 5 / 10 = 0.5
0.5 x 100 = 50
50%
Answer: 50% of a dollar
Hope this helps!
