1. Ricky takes 1 coin at random from 3 quarters, 5 dimes, and two nickels in his pocket. What is the
probability that he will take a quarter from his pocket if he reaches in and pulls out one coin? *

This problem is quite simple, really. Okay, so first we're gonna figure out how many items in total there are. He has 3 quarters, 5 dimes, and 2 nickels. So 3+5+2 is equal to 10. Since there is 3 quarters out of the 10 different options, here is how many quarters are in the bag (aka the probability that Ricky will pull out a quarter): 3/10. 3/10 is the same thing as 30%, so there is a 30 percent chance Ricky will pull out a quarter.
