Question

A concession stand sells 50 drinks, of which 49 are lemonade. What is the probability that the next

drink sold will be lemonade? Write your answer as a fraction, decimal, or percent.

Answer 1

49 out of 50 drinks were lemonade.

Divide the number of lemonade drinks by total drinks:

49 / 50 = 0.98 = 98%

98% of the drinks were lemonade, so there would be a 98% chance the next drink was lemonade.
