Nerissa has 5 pink bows, 1 blue bow, and 4 purple bows in a box. She will randomly choose one from the box. What is the probability Nerissa will choose a purple bow?

There is a 40% chance that Nerissa will choose a purple bow.

In total, there are 10 bows
4 out of 10 of these are purple
4/10 or 0.40 or 40%
