Question

A basket contains 20 green apples and

30 red apples. If a piece of fruit is
selected at random from the basket, what
is the probability that it will not be a red
apple?
A:2/5 B:3/5 C:2/3

Answer 1

Answer: 40% , A:2/5

Explanation:

// mean comment btw

-There is 50 apples //you know for 20+30

The probability of getting a red apple is 30/50 or 60/100

Next you can either do 100-60 to find out the percentage on not getting a red apple is or find the probability of getting a green apple which is 20/50 or 40/100

Now simplify 20/50 is equivalent to 2/5 thus the answer is A
