Question

If 18% of the beads in a bag are green, 25% are red, and 40% are purple, what is the probability of choosing a bead that is either red or green?

Answer 1

43%

Explanation:

Percentage of green beads = 18%

Percentage of red beads = 25%

Probability of selecting a red or green bead = Probability of selecting a red bead + Probability of selecting a green bead.

18 + 25 = 43%

So, the probability is 43%
