Answer:

There are 15 mechanical pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the probability of drawn a mechanical pencil from a larger group is given by the quotient of the number of mechanical pencils divided the total number of pencils in the sample.

so that means:

P=\frac{x}{25} \\

being x the number of mechanical pencils and 25 the total of all pencils in the sample. Since they give as P as 3/5, we can solve for the number of mechanical pencils (x) using the equation:

P=\frac{x}{25} \\\\\frac{3}{5} =\frac{x}{25}\\x=\frac{3\,*\,25}{5} \\x=15

So there are 15 mechanical pencils in the sample.
