The junior class has 50 students. Twenty-five students take only French, 15 take only Latin, and 10 take both. If a student is chosen at random from the class, what is the probability that the chosen student takes Latin?

1/4
1
1/2

It’s definitely 1/2 if you do the math like done so above my comment it makes it a 1/2 chance because half and half of the class have done French or Latin

I believe it is 1/2

10+15=25

25*2=50
