PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that you would choose a green candy: $\frac{45}{139}$ or approximately 32%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of probability can be calculated as the following fraction:

$\frac{number of desired outcomes}{total number of outcomes}$

First, to find the total number of outcomes, you need to add all of the candies together:  42 + 45 + 20 + 32 = 139, so there are 139 total outcomes.  Since there are a total of 45 green candies, the probability of choosing green from the total can be written as:  

$\frac{45}{139}$

Dividing the numerator by the denominator and multiplying by 100 gives us the percentage of approximately 32%.
