Bonnie and Connie are twins with identical purses. Bonnie needs 35 cents to pay for a parking meter. Suppose that Bonnie's purse has 5 quarters, 3 dimes, and 2 nickels while Connie's purse has 2 quarters, 5 dimes, and 3 nickels in it. Not being able to tell the difference between the purses, Connie picks one at random and grabs two coins from it. What is the probability that Bonnie picked her own purse given that she drew out enough change to pay for her parking meter? (Note: Bonnie needs to put in at least 35 cents to pay her parking meter.)
