There are 150 clovers with 3 leaves because 200 times .75 equals 150. There are 48 clovers with 2 leaves because 200 times .24 equals 48. There are 2 clovers with 4 leaves because 200 times .01 equals 2. The four - leaf clovers are worth 450 cents because 150 times 3 equals 450. The two leafed clovers are worth 96 cents because 48 times two equals 96. The four - leaf clovers are worth 8 cents because 4 times 2 equals 8. The clovers are worth 554 cents because 450 plus 96 plus 8 equals 554.
Thus, the answer is 554.
