jean has 15 quarters, 10 dimes, 17 nickels, and 30 pennies all in a bowl. what is the probability of randomly drawing out a dime or a nickel?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate total number of coins
$15 + 10+17 + 30=72$
Step2: Calculate number of dimes and nickels
$10 + 17 = 27$
Step3: Calculate probability
$P=\frac{27}{72}=\frac{3}{8}$
Answer:
$\frac{3}{8}$
