Question

jenn has 15 quarters, 10 dimes, 17 nickels, and 30 pennies all in a bowl. what is the probability of randomly drawing out a quarter?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of coins

$15 + 10+17 + 30=72$

Step2: Calculate probability of drawing a quarter

The probability $P$ of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. The number of favorable outcomes (drawing a quarter) is 15, and the total number of outcomes is 72. So $P=\frac{15}{72}=\frac{5}{24}$

Answer:

$\frac{5}{24}$
