Since 22% were not catalogs, 78% were catalogs. 36% of those were clothing:
.36 * .78 = .28 or 28%

Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Twenty-two percent of the large pieces of mail that Rachel received this week were magazines and the rest were catalogs.

Of the catalogs, 36 percent were for clothing.

To Find: To the nearest whole percent, what is the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog

Solution:

Magazines = 22%=0.22

we are given that Rest are catalogs

So, catalogs = 100%-22% = 78% = 0.78

Of the catalogs, 36 percent were for clothing.

Out of catalogs Clothing = 0.36

So, probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog = 0.36 \times 0.78=0.2808

To the nearest whole percent, the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog = 0.2808 \times 100=28.08\%

Hence  the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog to the nearest whole percent is 28%
