Question

A particular stand has 70 drinks. There are 10 waters, 20 soda pops, 22 sports drinks, and 18 lemonades. What is the probability of an individual randomly choosing a soda pop? Write your answer as an exact fraction which is reduced as much as possible.

Answer 1

Total of possibilities: 70

Number of soda pops: 20

Probability of choosing a soda pop: 20/70

`\begin{gathered} \frac{20\text{ }}{70\text{ }}\colon2=(10)/(35)\colon\text{ 5 = }(2)/(7) \\ \text{Simplest form: }(2)/(7) \end{gathered}`

So, the answer is 2/7.
