Answer 1

here are a total of 14 + 15 + 9 + 11 = 49 donuts.

The probability of selecting a maple donut is the number of maple donuts divided by the total number of donuts:

P(maple donut) = 14/49

So the probability of selecting a maple donut is 14/49, which can also be written as a fraction in simplest form: 2/7.
