Answer:

the number of chips in the bag is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

On a game show, a contestant randomly chooses a chip from a bag that contains numbers and strikes. The theoretical probability of choosing a strike is 1/5.

Let x be the number of chips in the bag

the bag contains 8 strikes

the probability of choosing a strike from 8 strikes is 8/x

given probability of choosing a strike is 1/5

\frac{1}{5} =\frac{8}{x}

cross multiply it

x= 40

So, the number of chips in the bag is 40
