Answer:

47% and 62%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Drink

The probability that a student buys a drink is 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a student buys a drink will be given by;

( the number of students who bought a drink)/(the total number of students)

We are told that;

Of the 100 students who came to the movie, 62 bought popcorn and 47 bought a drink. Therefore, the required probability is;

47/100= 0.47

0.47 = 47%

2. Popcorn

For popcorn probability, it's basically the same.

The probabilty that a student buys popcorn is 0.62

The probability that a student buys popcorn will be given by;

( the number of students who bought popcorn)/(the total number of students)

So therefore,

62/100 = 0.62

0.62 = 62%
