Well, from what I can tell he has 1 50 cent piece, 2 Dimes, and 2 Pennies. Meaning 5 objects in total, considering that it asks for "at least ten cents" that would mean the 2 Dimes and the 1 50 cent piece.
Since that is 3 objects out of the 5, being 3/5ths, that would mean he has a 60% chance or probability for the first draw.
Hopefully that helps. ^ ^

When you multiply each side of an equation by the same number,
you don't change the equation or its solution. If you want to get rid
of the decimals, you could multiply each side by 10. Then the
equation is
5x - 1 = -29
You should be able to solve that without help.
But I'm about to take your points, so here's
how to solve that equation:
</span><span><span>5x - 1 = -29
Add 1 to each side: 5x = -28
Divide each side by 5 : x = -28 / 5
Simplify the solution: x = -5 and 4/5 .
Again ... this is the same solution as the original equation
if we hadn't gotten rid of the decimals.

Recall that for a home visit, the technician charges $50 regardless on the time spent in the repair.
So, to find out the rate, we should calculate the part that depends on the spent time, and the add 50. So for example, we know that the technician spents 1 hour. So, we multiply 1 times 25 and then add 50. So, 25*1 + 50 = 75, which is the rate for a 1-hour repair.
So, in general, if we know that the number of hours is x, we multiply x times 25 and then add 50. Then a table would like this:
x 25*x 25*x +50
1 25 75
2 50 100
3 75 125
4 100 150
Note that as the time increases by one hour, the fare increases by 25. This is an example of a direct variation, since as the independent variable increases (t
