Kate has a coin collection. she keeps 7 of the coins in a box witch is only 5%of her entire collection. what is the total number of coins in kate's coin collection

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

your answer would be 12
