Question

A jar contains 8 pennies, 3 nickels, 5 dimes, and 2 quarters. If one coin is chosen from the jar, how many ways are there to get more than 4 cents

Answer 1

Answer: The jar contains a total of 18 coins (8 pennies + 3 nickels + 5 dimes + 2 quarters). To get more than 4 cents, we need to choose a nickel, dime, or quarter. There are 3 nickels, 5 dimes, and 2 quarters, for a total of 10 coins that satisfy this condition. Therefore, there are 10 ways to choose a coin from the jar that is more than 4 cents.
