Question

If a jelly bean machine contains 16 pink jelly beans, 34 blue jelly beans, 24 black jelly beans, and 26 purple jelly beans, what is the probability that a jelly bean chosen at random will be pink?

Answer 1

There are 16 pink jelly beans.
There are 16+34+24+26=100 jelly beans in total.

$P=\frac{16}{100}=16\% = \frac{4 \times 4}{25 \times 4}=\frac{4}{25}$

The probability is 4/25, or 16%.
