A box of dough-nuts contains 4 glazed, 3 cream-filled, and 2 jelly dough-nuts. Your friend takes a cream-filled dough-nut. What is the probability of you now reaching in the box without looking and getting a cream-filled dough-nut?

Since your friend took 1/9 of the 3/9 cream filled, you subtract that and you'd get 2/9
