Fiona has to choose a bouquet for her wedding. There is a 98% chance she will use red roses, an 87% chance she will use orchids and a 94% chance she will use Gerber daisies. Given that the probability she has both roses and orchids is 0.82, the probability she has both Gerber daisies and roses is 0.97, what is the probability she has Gerber daisies as she has already chosen red roses?

0.97/0.98 = 0.99
