The probability of winning money can be calculated by finding the sum of the probabilities of winning candy and pencils, and then subtracting that from 1.
Probability of winning candy = 3/5 = 0.6
Probability of winning pencils = 3/10 = 0.3
Total probability of winning candy or pencils = 0.6 + 0.3 = 0.9
Therefore, the probability of winning money = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1
So, the probability of winning money is 0.1 or 1/10.
