"the front right pocket has more than 30¢ in it"
More than 30¢ implies you can only have a dime and a quarter.
The first coin has to be a dime or a quarter out of 4 coins, so the probability is 2/4. The second coin has to be one choice out of three, so it is 1/3.
We want the both events to occur, so the probability is the product of the probabilities of the individual events, namely:
(2/4)*(1/3)
=1/6
