Question

A baseball card company manufactured 30,000 card packs. A special autographed collector’s card was inserted into 5,000 packs, chosen at random. What is the chance of buying a pack with a collector’s card?

Answer 1

Answer: 16.667%

Explanation:

We will divide the packs with this special card by the total number of card packs. Then, we will multiply by 100 to turn the decimal into a percent.

`\displaystyle \frac{\text{special packs}}{\text{total packs}} *100=(5,000)/(30,000) *100= 0.166666666 * 100 \approx 16.667\%`
