The probability of drawing a quarter is 23/100.
The probability of drawing a quarter is the number of quarters in the bag
divided by the total number of coins in the bag.
There are 23 quarters in the bag and 23+20+21+36=100 coins in the bag,
so the probability of drawing a quarter is 23/100.
This is equal to 0.230.
