Answer:

32.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

To find the probability we first need to find the amount of prime numbers in the 1-40 set.

Prime - 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37

That’s 13 prime numbers.

Fraction - 13/40

Simplified is just 13/40.

13 / 40 = .325

Percent - 32.5%

Hope this helps :)
