Question

Brad has twenty pennies in his pocket. Eight of the coins were minted in 2001. If he choose a coin at random, what is the chance that it was minted in the Year 200q

Answer 1

Explanation:

you have 20 pennies....8 are minted in 2001

the chance you pick a penny minted in 2001 is : 8/20 which reduces to 2/5 or 40%

and the chance you pick a penny NOT minted in 2001 would be 60%
