Respuesta :

Answer:

121%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is reported at the end of 2006 by the United States mint that 1.21 penny was the unit cost of producing and distributing a penny.

So, the cost for production and distribution of 1 penny is 1.21 penny.

Therefore, if we consider x% of 1 penny is 1.21 penny.

Then, [tex]\frac{1 \times x}{100} = 1.21[/tex]

⇒ x = 121% (Answer)
