The probability that the boy’s friend will choose the quarter as one of the two coins is 40% or 4/10.

Since a young boy has a penny, a nickel, a dime, a quarter, and a half-dollar coin, and he puts all the coins in his hand and tells his friend that he can randomly choose two of the coins without looking, to determine what is the probability that the boy's friend will choose the quarter as one of the two coins, both in fractions and percentages, the following calculation must be performed:

  • Total amount of coins = 5
  • Total number of possibilities = 2
  • 2/5 = X
  • 0.4 = X
  • 0.4 x 100 = 40

Therefore, the probability that the boy’s friend will choose the quarter as one of the two coins is 40% or 4/10.
