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

cross multiply it
x= 40
So, the number of chips in the bag is 40
