Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Given
Total number of marbles in the bag = 13 marbles
Number of yellow marbles = 6.
We choose 2 marbles from the bag without replacing and need to determine the probability that both are yellow.
Step 2 :
Probability of finding yellow marble in the first try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = 
Once the yellow marble is selected we have 5 yellow marbles among 12 remaining marbles in the bag.
Probability of finding yellow marble in the second try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = 
Step 3:
P(yellow in first 2 tries) = P(yellow in first try) * P(yellow in second try)
P(yellow in first 2 tries) =
= 
Step 4:
Answer:
The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26

Let's make a system of equations to solve for this:
n + q = 84
0.05n + 0.25q = 12.80
where n = nickels and q = quarters.
---
Solve for n in the first equation by subtracting q from both sides.
n = 84 - q
---
Plug n into the second equation.
0.05(84 - q) + 0.25q = 12.80
Distribute 0.05 inside the parentheses.
4.2 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 12.80
Combine like terms.
4.2 + 0.2q = 12.80
Subtract 4.2 from both sides.
0.2q = 8.6
Divide both sides by 0.2.
q = 43
---
Plug 43 for q in the first equation.
n + (43) = 84
Subtract 43 from both sides.
n = 41
---
There are 41 nickels and 43 quarters in the piggy bank. ✅
