Answer 2

Answer: 3450 cents worth

Explanation:

You add up the 40 coins and divide it by 10 to find the probability to pull a dime. Then, you do 1380/4 and you get 345. These are how many dimes are inside the jar. To find the expected value of dimes, you multiply it by 10 because that is how much it is worth. You then get 3450.
