Question

A bag contains 42 red, 45 green, 20 yellow, and 32 purple candies, you pick one candy at random, find the probability that it is green

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{45}{139}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of green candies in the bag : 45

Total number of candies in the bag =$42+45+20+32=139$

Now, if you pick one candy at random then the probability that it is green is given by :-

$\text{P(green)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of green marbles}}{\text{Total marbles}}\\\\=\dfrac{45}{139}$

Hence, the probability that it is green is $\dfrac{45}{139}$

Answer 2

Answer:

It is $\frac{45}{139}$ or you have a 32.37% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

You just put the total amount of green over the total. To find the % just multiply the top by 100 and divide it by the bottom.
