Question

A bag contains lettered tiles. The theoretical probability of choosing a vowel is 40%. The bag contains 72 consonants. How many tiles are in the bag?

Answer 1

Hmm I honestly think it’s 101 but I’m not 100% sure hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: I'm not so sure but my answer is 101 tiles.

Explanation:

Because the probability of choosing a vowel is 40%, and there are 72 consonants, so we would set up the equaiton like this:

72 times 40% (0.40) = 28.8 (round up to 29)

So we have 72 consonants and 29 vowels. Add them up:

72+29 = 101
