Question

1. A jar contains 50 jelly beans in total. 20 of them are red, 15 are green and the other 15 are blue. If a jelly bean

is selected at random from the jar, what is the probability that it is red or blue?

Answer 1

70%

Given: 50 total, 20 red, 15 blue

20 + 15 = 35

35 ÷ 50 = .7

.7 • 100 = 70

70% are blue or red.
