Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{A. }39/50$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a randomly selected cap will not be green is equal to the number of non-green caps divided by the total number of caps.

Since there are 100 caps total and 22 are green, there must be $100-22=78$ non-green caps.

Divide this by the total number of caps (100) to get the probability that a randomly selected cap will not be green:

$\frac{78}{100}$

Simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2:

$\frac{78}{100}=\boxed{39/50}$
