Question

mary selects a piece of candy at random form a jar that contains four peopermint, five cherry, three butterscotch, and two lemon candies. what is the probability that the candy she selects is not lemon?

Answer 1

6/7 or 85.7 percent

Explanation:

First, you will want to add all of the candies together and find the sum

Then you will want to take away the Lemon candies as you are looking for the probability of NOT choosing those,

so at this point, you should have 12 take that 12, and put it over the total number, so 12/14 then either simplify, or switch to a percentage, or both, and there is your answer.
