Judging on the question I realized to find the probability of finding a white paperclip would be a fraction.
The numerator of the fraction should be (9) white paperclips. The denominator of the fraction should be (20) the TOTAL amount of paperclips (white+green+red).
The fraction should be 9/20. or 45%
