Pita has 12 coins in her bag. There are 3 1 pound coins and 9 50p coins she takes 3 coins at random. Work out the probability that she takes exactly 2.50

27/220

Step-by-step explanation:

With regards to the above, Pita would have to pick 2 pound coins and 1 50p coin to get £2.50

Then, the probability of picking 1 pound then 1 pound, then 50 Pound

= 3/12 × 2/11 × 9/10

= 9/220

It therefore means that the number of arrangement possible of 2 pounds and 1 50 pounds

= £ - £ - 50 , £ - 50 - £ and 50 - £ -£

= 3

Hence, the required probability

= 3 × 9/220

= 27/220

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
