Hello!

First you have to find the probability of a pulling a penny

To find this you put the amount of pennies over the amount of coins

There are 12 coins and 5 pennies

This is a 5/12 probability

Next you have to find the probability of then pulling out a quarter

Since you already took out a coin the total amount is now 11

The probability is 4/11

You multiply the two probabilities together to get the probability of them happening one after antoher

5/12 * 4/11 = 5/33

The answer is D)5/33

Hope this helps!
