Hello!

You have to find the probability of pull a silver coin out of both bags separately

To do this you do the most favorable outcome over the total amount of outcomes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bag 1
The first bag has 1 silver coin and 14 total coins

This is a probability of 1/14
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bag 2
The second bag has 2 silver coins and 12 total coins

This is a probability of 2/12
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finding the answer

To get the answer you multiply the two probabilities together

1/14 * 2/12 = 1/84
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The answer is C) 1/84

Hope this helps!
