You have 3/4 seven dimes and five nickels in your pocket a coin is chosen at random what is the best answer for the probability of drawing a quarter?

Answer 1

If I am understanding the problem correctly, these are the numbers of coins that we have,

3 Quarters

7 Dimes

5 Nickels

So we have 15 coins in total.

Therefore, if we choose a coin at random, we have a 3 / 15 chance of choosing a quarter. This probability simplifies to 1 / 5 or 20%.
