IN COIN BANK 58

To determine in which bank the 678,230th penny would be found, you need to divide the total number of pennies by the number of pennies in each bank.

First, divide the total number of pennies, 1,000,000, by the number of pennies in each bank, 50,000:

1,000,000 / 50,000 = 20

This tells us that there are a total of 20 coin banks needed to store all 1,000,000 pennies.

Now, to find which bank the 678,230th penny would be in, divide the position of the penny by the number of pennies in each bank:

678,230 / 50,000 = 13.56

Since we can't have a fraction of a bank, we round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the 678,230th penny would be found in the 14th bank.

So, the 678,230th penny would be in the 14th bank.
