Answer:

140 coins total

Step-by-step explanation:

Straightforward, this reads "7 is 5% of how many?". Algebraically, the word "is" means an equals sign, and the word "of" means you multiply. Of course, the 5% needs to be in decimal form. Taking the sentence above, algebraically it is: 7 = .05x. Divide by .05 on both sides to get x = 140
