What you’ll have to do is find the probability of the oranges and the tangerines. There is a total is 15 fruit. 12 of those are not grapefruit. You’ll then have to find the percentage of 12/15.

12 is divided by 15, then multiplied by 100.

12 divided by 15 = 0.08

0.08 x 100 = 80

There is an 80% chance that a grapefruit will not be picked.
