There are 6 pockets all together. You checked two of them and it wasn't
there. So you can forget about those 2, and now there are 4 pockets left.
The total number of ways for your next try is 4.
The number that will be successful is 1.
The probability of success on the next one is <em>1/4 = 25% .</em>
=======================================================
Another method of solution, somewhat more complex:
Total number of pockets = 6.
Amount of money missing = $10
First partial sum, i.e. sum of numbers
in the first part of the problem = 6 + 10 = 16.
Total number of pockets = 6
Current value of cargo pants on a fashion scale from 1 to 10 = -2.
Second partial sum = 6 - 2 = 4.
Probability = (second partial sum) / (first partial sum) = 4/16 = <em>25% </em>.

Nickels = x
dimes = x + 4
quarters = x
Value of coins:
nickel = 5 cents
dime = 10 cents
quarter = 25 cents
5x + 10(x + 4) + 25x = 3.20
5x + 10x + 40 + 25x = 320
40x = 320 - 40
40x = 280
x = 280/40
x = 7
There are 7 quarters, 7 nickels and 11 dimes.
