Answer: P(Quarter & Penny): 9/100

p(Two pennies): 9/25

Explanation:

There are 20 coins in the bag, so you have a 3/20 chance of getting a quarter, 5/20 chances of getting a dime and 12/20 chance of getting a penny on each draw if the coins are always replaced.

Im this situation, you can simplify the fractions, the

Multiply the chance of each independent event times the chance of the next independent event.

3/20 × 3/5 = 9/100 for the quarter and the penny

3/5 × 3/5 = 9/25 for the two pennies
