find the percent: tax, discount, and more
sale prices: find the original price

Explanation:

Step1: Convert rate to coins/second

A single press makes $\frac{750}{60} = 12.5$ coins per second.

Step2: Calculate total presses

A dozen = 12 presses, so total rate: $12 \times 12.5 = 150$ coins/second.

Step3: Compute total coins in 20s

Total coins = $150 \times 20$

Answer:

3000 coins
