well to start write it as probability. 240/600. then you would divide. and 240/600=0.4, which is 40%

40 % of coins are pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of coins = 600

Total number of pennies = 240

[tex]\texttt{Percentage of the coins are pennies=}\frac{\texttt{Total number of pennies}}{\texttt{Total number of coins}}\times 100\\\\\texttt{Percentage of the coins are pennies=}\frac{240}{600}\times 100\\\\\texttt{Percentage of the coins are pennies=}\frac{240}{6}\\\\\texttt{Percentage of the coins are pennies=}\frac{120}{3}\\\\\texttt{Percentage of the coins are pennies=}40\%[/tex]

40 % of coins are pennies.
