Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.
The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.
Probability is expressed as
Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.
The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as
0.6 = x/20
Cross multiplying, it becomes
x = 20 × 0.6
x = 12
Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be
20 - 12 = 8
There isn't a specific number so i'll just list all of them.
2 : 100 millions
3 : 10 millions
4 : millions
5 : 100 thousands
0 : 10 thousands
0 : thousands
4 : hundreds
5 : tens
0 : ones
