Nick has 5, 10, 20, 50 cent coin in his pocket.
He accidentally takes 2 coins out of his pocket. Calculate the possibility of the sum of the two coins that he has taken out being 25 cents.

Respuesta :

Answer:

possibility is 1 in 6

Step-by-step explanation:

combinations of 2 coins are

5/10 , 5/20 , 5/50 → 3 possibles

10/20 , 10/50 → 2 possibles

20/50 → 1 possible

there are 6 possible combinations of the 2 coins

the only possible combination for 25 cents is 5/20

thus the possibilty of 2 coins summing to 25 cents is 1 in 6
