There are originally five different colored cars but then when you take out what there’s only four and four is an even number that you can make 25 four different times to get to 100 so therefore it would be 25%

Answer:

The probability will be 5%

Explanation:
The probability that you pulled red first was 1/5, or 20%
And the probability you pulled blue second was 1/4, or 25%.
Now we have to multiply the fractions.
1/5x1/4=1/20. 1/20 is 5%. There is a 5% probability you pulled red then blue.
