Ms. Mitchell's coin purse has 20 coins. There are 6 pennies,4 quarters,3 dimes, and the remainder are nickels. What is the theoretical probability of randomly selecting a nickel from Ms. Mitchell's coin purse?

The answer would be 7 out of 20 or 7/20 because 6 pennies +3 dimes +4 quarters =13 coins so that leaves 7 nickels
