Answer: 27/36

Step-by-step explanation: It says there are 36 bikes (18 pairs), meaning that there are 2 bikes per pair because 18 multiplied by 2 is 36.

1 pair (2 bikes) are yellow.

3 pairs (6 bikes) are red.

For purple, add yellow and red together: 2 + 6 = 8. Subtract the total number of bikes from this: 36 - 8 = 28 purple bikes.

If you take out 1 purple bike, this leaves you with 27. The probability of choosing a purple bike out of the total (36), is 27/36.
