"pence" is simply the plural of penny in the British system and is used for any multiple of coins worth 2p or more.

However "pennies" refers to a group of one-penny coins.

The usage is a bit strange. If you have 10 one-penny coins, you have 10 pennies that are worth 10 pence! If you had one 10p coin, it's said to be worth 10 pence.

How many 2p coins have same value as 1 five and 7 pennies?

A five pence coin is worth 5 pence, and 7 pennies are worth 7 pence, making the total value 5 + 7 = 12 pence. Since each 2p coin is worth 2 pence, you can determine how many 2p coins equal 12 pence by dividing 12 by 2. Thus, 12 pence divided by 2 pence per coin equals 6. Therefore, 6 two-pence coins have the same value as 1 five pence coin and 7 pennies.
