{Joe gave Kevin 68% of his pennies.Joe gave Rayce 12 of his 32 pennies left.What percent of his pennies did Joe give Rayce?Then Joe gave Frankie 12 pennies of the 20 pennies left. What percent of his pennies did Joe give Frankie?Then Joe gave Nick 5 of the 8 pennies left.......
I am not good at percentages except when they are obvious answers so I broke down the problem so its easier and the answer I know is the first problem and I put that answer in {} so you know that's the answer not the actually problem and the last question I put them in the same thing but I am not fully sure if it's correct or not. Or in stead of answering all the questions you could give me an EASY equation. Please not a complicated equation or I won't get it right.

Joe had 100 pennies; he gave Kevin 68 pennies. What percent of his pennies did Joe give Kevin?
{Joe gave Kevin 68% of his pennies.}

Joe gave Rayce 12 of his 32 pennies left. What percent of his pennies did Joe give Rayce?

Then Joe gave Frankie 12 pennies of the 20 pennies left. What percent of his pennies did Joe give Frankie?

Then Joe gave Nick 5 of the 8 pennies left. What percent of his pennies did Joe give Nick?

Joe gave 2 of the 3 pennies left to Tyler. What percent of his pennies did Joe give Tyler?
{I think it's 2%}

Always remember the rule
N% = N/100

For this type of question, u could use this formula : -
% given = (Money given/Money poessessing) × 100

Joe had 100 pennies; he gave Kevin 68 pennies. What % of his pennies did Joe give Kevin?

% Joe gave to Kevin = (68/100) × 100
= 68 %

Joe gave Rayce 12 of his 32 pennies left. What % of his pennies did Joe give Rayce?

% Joe gave to Rayce = (12/32) × 100
= 37.5 %

Then Joe gave Frankie 12 pennies of the 20 pennies left. What % of his pennies did Joe give Frankie?

% Joe gave to Frankie = (12/20) × 100
= 60 %

Then Joe gave Nick 5 of the 8 pennies left. What % of his pennies did Joe give Nick?

% Joe gave Nick = (5/8) × 100
= 62.5 %

Joe gave 2 of the 3 pennies left to Tyler. What percent of his pennies did Joe give Tyler?

% Joe gave to Tyler = (2/3) × 100
= 66.7 %

Hope this helps
bye !

Joe gave Rayce 12 of his 32 pennies left: This means he gave 12/32 of his pennies or 12 divided by 32. If you use long division, you should get a decimal or punch 12/32 into your calculator. You will get a decimal value which you would then multiply by 100% to get the wanted percent. It's the same way with the rest of the questions.

-
Money Joe gave / Money Joe had * 100 = Percentage of his money he gave.

The correct answer of your last question is 67% or 66.67% instead.
