Find how many of the coins in the cup have \"n\" in their names.
\n" ); document.write( "That is 6 nickels + 10 pennies = 16 coins with \"n\" in their names.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by the total number of coins.
\n" ); document.write( "The total is 4 quarters + 5 dimes + 6 nickels + 10 pennies = 25 coins
\n" ); document.write( "\"16%2F25\" of the coins have \"n\" in their names.
\n" ); document.write( "So the probability that one coin selected at random has a letter \"n\" in its name is
\n" ); document.write( "\"16%2F25=0.64\"=64%
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
