Answer:

P(nickel or dime) = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total amount of coins that there are:

6 + 14 + 16 + 4 = (20) + (20) = 40

You are trying to find P(nickel or dime). Note that there are 14 nickels, and 16 dimes. Add these two numbers together:

P(Nickel or dime) = (14 + 16)/40

P(Nickel or dime) = (30)/40

Simplify. Divide common factors from both the numerator & denominator (10)

P(Nickel or dime) = (30/40)/(10/10) = 3/4

P(nickel or dime) = 3/4
