A man gathers nuts in a forest. Each time he finds a nut, there is a 20% chance it is a pecan and a 35% chance it is a walnut.

What is the probability that the next nut the man finds is either a pecan or a walnut?

Either a pecan or walnut means you add the probabilities together

20% plus 35% equals 55%
