Solve for s.
p=4s
Flip the equation.
4s=p
Divide both sides by 4.
4s/4=p/4
s=1/4p
there are 9 dimes in a total of 8+9+8=25 coins
The probability to choose one first is 9/25
Now there are 8 dimes in 24 coins and the probability to get a second dime is 8/24=1/3
The solution will be: (9/25)x(1/3)=3/25 then the answer is "B"
