jared has 2 pennies and 3 dimes in his pocket. He needs $0.20 to complete a purchase. He pulls out 2 coins out of his pocket, one at a time without replacement. What is the probability the coins add up to $0.20?

Answer:

Explanation:

The two pennies are no help so really the only way he can pull out 20 cents is if he gets two dimes so that means there is a likely chance of that happening since there is more dimes then Pennies so I'd say 3/5 chance of that happening.

I really hope this helps
