Answer 1

Probably of getting both = 3/10 *100 = 30%

Explanation:

According to the given statement we have four possible combinations:

Blue pants/white shirt, tan pants/white shirt, blue pants/blue shirt, blue pants/white shirt

.probability of getting tan pants = 2/4

probability of getting white shirt = 3/5

probably of getting both = 2/4 x 3/5 = 6/20 = 3/10

probably of getting both = 3/10 *100 = 30% ...
