There are 3 yellow, 4 blue, 3 green, and 2 red candies in a bag. Without looking, Brian reaches into the bag and pulls out one piece of candy. What is the probability Brian will pull out a yellow candy?

➷ First, we need to figure out the total number of candies:

3 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 12

Keep this number in mind as it will be the denominator

There are 3 yellow candies so the probability would be:


(3)/(12) or
(1)/(4)
