Zinc-core pennies have been made since 1982, and are lighter than all-copper pennies made prior to this (2.5 grams vs 3.1 grams). In addition, pennies of the same "generation" can exhibit greater amounts of dirt on them (increasing weight - gross but true), and different amounts of wear to the metal (decreasing weight).

Of 1131 pennies, x weigh 3.09 g and y weigh 2.51 g. In total, the 1131 pennies weigh 3001.8 g. 3.09x + 2.51y 1131 = 3001.8 I have no idea what to do after that, or if it's even right. I was thinking maybe dividing, but the number was so small it had to be wrong. Tell me, what grade is this for?
