Probability

ok so

this question is quite tricky but i think i have a way of working it out

if you still need help

[feral grotto]

i realised that there are more than 5 coins so the only way to get 1/5 of something is if there is it a multiple of 10

so i said the total amount of coins is 10

so 1/5 of 10 is 2

[pseudo magnet]

multiple of 5 but yeah

yep ok

[feral grotto]

Ye my bad

Lol

[pseudo magnet]

nw

[feral grotto]

So then

[pseudo magnet]

carry on

[feral grotto]

There are 2 pennies

And the remainder is 48

So i have to get 48 with the 8 remaining coins i can use

So i got 10p 10p 10p 10p 2p 2p 2p 2p

[pseudo magnet]

yep looks good

[feral grotto]

how were u gonna do it

[pseudo magnet]

well so thats what i did

but i can show you that

15 and higher definitely dont work

if thats something youre interested in knowing

[feral grotto]

how did u work it out

yes plz

[pseudo magnet]

ok so as you said the number of coins is a multiple of 5

and i basically did what you did for when its 10 coins

now if we think about 15 coins

wait i might have made a mistake

[feral grotto]

ok

rip

[pseudo magnet]

well basically with 15 coins you need

12 coins to add up to 47

[feral grotto]

Ye

Is that impossible

?

I don't get it

[pseudo magnet]

yeah i think my logic is wrong but

yeah i dont either

[feral grotto]

lol it's fine

[pseudo magnet]

i wrote down "average coin < 2" but i think that was my brain malfunctioing

[feral grotto]

remember this

[pseudo magnet]

oh yeah

brings back my childhood

[feral grotto]

true

and snack time

[pseudo magnet]

ofc

[feral grotto]

how do i close this question

[pseudo magnet]

i think you just underline all the coins listed

[strange reef]

do /solve

[pseudo magnet]

oh how silly of me

absoltely

ACTUALLY

so average coin is 47/12

from whats left

wait no fuck
