Answer:

26%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability we have to divide by the number of original states and the total number of states in the United States, we know that the first original states were 13 and that in total there are 50 states in the whole country, therefore:

13/50 = 0.26

which means that the probability that Angelica will select one of those 13 original states is 26%
