Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
This basically means "7 is 5% of what number(total)".
We can directly translate this into algebra:
Note: "is" means "equal" AND "of" means "multiplication". Also, let the total be n
Let's write the equation.
"7 is 5% of what number(total)"
7 = 5% * n
5% means 0.05, so:
7 = 0.05 * n
n = 7/0.05 = 140
Total number of coins is 140
Option D is right.
