A bag contains 42 red, 45 green, 20 yellow, and 32 purple candies, you pick one candy at random, find the probability that it is green

Respuesta :

Answer:

It is [tex]\frac{45}{139}[/tex] or you have a 32.37% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

You just put the total amount of green over the total. To find the % just multiply the top by 100 and divide it by the bottom.

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{45}{139}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of green candies in the bag : 45

Total number of candies in the bag =[tex]42+45+20+32=139[/tex]

Now, if you pick one candy at random then the probability that it is green is given by :-

[tex]\text{P(green)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of green marbles}}{\text{Total marbles}}\\\\=\dfrac{45}{139}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that it is green is [tex]\dfrac{45}{139}[/tex]
