A box contains 12 red marbles, 15 black marbles and 18 green marbles. One marble is picked up from the box randomly. What is the probability of getting a red or a black marble?

12 + 15 + 18 = 45 marbles in total
12 + 15 = 27 red/black marbles

(27)/(45) is the probability
Also 60%
Hope this helped :)

I believe the answer is 27/45, or 60%.
