1. There are five $5 and three $10 bills in a bag. A person reaches in and pulls out two bills. What is the probability of the sum of the bills will be $10, $15 or $20?
Thank You!

Hello Mr Patel :)
1. There are five $5 and three $10 bills in a bag. A person reaches in and pulls out two bills. What is the probability of the sum of the bills will be $10, $15 or $20?
5,5,5,5,5, 10,10,10 8 notes altogether.
$10=$5+$5
\(P(5,5)= \frac{5}{\not{8}^2}\times \frac{\not{4}^1}{7}=\frac{5}{14}\)
-----------------------------------------
$15 = $5+$10 or $10+$5
\(P(5,10)= \frac{5}{8}\times \frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{56}\\ P(10,5)= \frac{3}{8}\times \frac{5}{7}=\frac{15}{56}\\ \text{P(sum of 15)}=\frac{30}{56}=\frac{15}{28} \)
-----------------------------------------
You can do the $20 yourself I think :)
