A jar contains 100 gum balls. There are 12 blue gum balls, 15 green gum balls, 37 red gum balls, and 36 yellow gum balls. What is the probability of randomly selecting a yellow gumball?

The probability of randomly selecting a yellow gumball is 9/25.
36/100=9/25

Yellow gumballs = 36
Total = 100

(36)/(100) = (9)/(25)
The probability of randomly selecting a yellow gumball is

(9)/(25)
Hope this helps.
