Question

A box contains 4 black shirts, 8 blue shirts, 4 black pants, and 10 blue pants. Determine the probability of randomly selecting a blue piece of clothing or a pair of pants. Use to explain your answer.

Answer 1

So there is 26 shirts in total because 4+8+4+10=26 Then you need to take 26-4=22. You do this because there is 26 total clothing and only 4 of them aren't either a blue piece of clothing or pants that means you have 22 pieces of clothing that are blue or pants. So your odds of picking a blue piece of clothing or pants is 22/26.

Hope this Helps!!
