How many dimes are in 75 quarters?

75 quarters x 25 cents

= 1875 cents

1875 cents / 10 cents

= 187.5 dimes

How many dimes are in 123 pennies?

A dime is worth 10 cents and is equal to 2 nickels or 10 pennies

For 123 pennies, we have : 123 / 10 = 12.3 dimes

75 quarters + 20 dimes + 123 pennies = 187.5 dimes + 20 dimes

+ 12. 3 dimes = 219. 8 dimes

What is the probability of pulling a dime out of the bag?

 20 / 219. 8 x 100/ 1 = 9 . 099 = 9. 2 %
