What percent of a quarter is a nickel?

Answer 1

A nickel is 20% of a quarter. The math involved in finding this number follows three easy steps:

1) Convert the coins into their respective number values. In this case, the quarter becomes 25 and the nickel becomes 5.

2) Write the two numbers in fraction form, and simplify it. In this case, 5 goes on top and 25 on the bottom, because you want to find what percent of 25 is 5. 5/25 is simplified to 1/5. 1/5 is equal to 0.2. 3) Move the decimal two places to the right to convert this number to a percentage. This is the same thing as multiplying it by 100. In this case, 0.20 becomes 20%.

Answer 2

It is 20 %
