Arianys has a coin collection. She keeps 11 of the coins in her box, which is 2% of the collection. How many total coins are in her collection?
Insert the values given in the problem then scale up or down to find the missing value.
Let's call the total number of coins in the collection "x".
We know that Arianys keeps 11 coins in her box, which is 2% of the collection.
So, we can set up the equation:
11 = 0.02x
To find the missing value, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.02:
11 / 0.02 = x
Simplifying this, we find:
550 = x
Therefore, the total number of coins in Arianys' collection is 550.
