Number of green balls = 87

Number of red balls = 41

So total number of balls = 128

Probability formula = number of events / number of possible outcomes.

So, the probability that a ball randomly selected will be a green ball will be


(87)/(87+41)

equals 0.6796875 converting to nearest hundredth as 0.68
