At a carnival game, you randomly throw two darts at the board and break two balloons out of 15. What is the probability that both the balloons you break are purple? Write your answer as a fraction or percent rounded to the nearest tenth. (3 red, 4 blue, 2 green, 2 yellow, 4 purple)

Add up the total number of balloons (15) there are 4 purples so the probably of you getting purple at all is 4/15. consider that after you hit the first purple, your odds decrease to 3/14.
