Question

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

Answer 1

It is
`(45)/(139)` or you have a 32.37% chance

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 2

Answer:
`(45)/(139)`

Explanation:

Given : Number of green candies in the bag : 45

Total number of candies in the bag =
`42+45+20+32=139`

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

`\text{P(green)}=\frac{\text{Number of green marbles}}{\text{Total marbles}}\\\\=(45)/(139)`

Hence, the probability that it is green is
`(45)/(139)`
