The letters that form the word ALGEBRA are placed in a bowl. What is the probability, as a percent, of choosing a letter other than "A" and then choosing an "A"?

It will be 2/42 you count out the letters in “ALGEBRA” and then you can the A’s which equal a fraction 2/7 then you subtract 1 from the numerator and the denominator which then equals 1/6. Then you multiply the fractions and get 2/42
