A bag contains 15 dark chocolates, 16 caramel chocolates, and 19 milk chocolates. The probability that Amber’s teacher distribut
es the chocolates among her students is 0.4. If the teacher offers Amber a chocolate from the bag, the probability that she randomly picks either a caramel chocolate or a dark chocolate is
To solve, first find the total of all the sweets: 15 + 16 + 19 = 50. Then, add together the caramel chocolates and the dark chocolates: 16 + 15 = 31. To find the probability, set up a fraction with the combinatio nof caramel in dark chocolates in the numerator, and the total in the denominator: 31/50. So, Amber will have a 31 out of 50 chance to randomly pick either caramel chocolate or dark chocolate.
