Question

Answer 1

Answer:

 =57.89%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of golf ball is 4+8+7 = 19

P (red or yellow) = number of red or yellow

                              ------------------------------------

                                total number of golf balls

                           = 4+7

                              -----

                              19

                         =11/19

Changing this to a percent means changing it to a decimal and multiplying by 100%

                        = .578947368 * 100%

                         =57.8947368%

Rounding to two decimal places

                         =57.89%
