Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of every 100 adults, 65 have health insurance.
So out of 5, we have to find 65% of 5.
65/100 x 5
=3.25
That means, out of every 5 adults, 3 adults (rounded to the nearest whole number) have health insurance
So, the probability of 3/5 is
3/5 x 100 %
= 60%
I hope this is correct and helps.
Thank you.
