Question

There are 14 red, 10 yellow, 5 green, and 3 purple candies in a bag. What is the probability that a candy chosen at random is not red?

Answer 1

Answer: 9/16

Work Shown:

14 red + 10 yellow + 5 green + 3 purple = 32 total

(32 total) - (14 red) = 18 that aren't red

18/32 = 9/16 is the probability of picking something that isn't red.
