Answer:

23/35

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability ratio will be expresses with denominators of 12+7+16=35

Probability of selecting carmel is 12/35

Probability of selecting mints is 7/35=1/5

Probability of selecting chocolates is 16/35

Probability of not selecting a carmel will be given by 1-probability of selecting a carmel since maximum probability is always 1 or 100%

Probability of not selecting a camel will be 1-12/35=35/35-12/35=23/35

Alternatively, the probability of not selecting a carmel is equivalent to the sum of probability of either selecting a dark chocolate or mint which will be 7/35+16/35=23/35

The answers are the same, 23/35

57% people ordered steak. 120 did not. how many customers were there that night?
jok3333 [9.3K]
X - number of customers

120+57\%x=x\\
120+0.57x=x\\
0.43x=120\\
x\approx297.07

There can't be a fraction of the number of people, so there must be some mistake in the question.
