Abigail has a bag that contains pineapple chews, lemon chews, and watermelon

chews. She performs an experiment. Abigail randomly removes a chew from the bag,
records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Abigail performs the experiment
35 times. The results are shown below:
A pineapple chew was selected 20 times.
A lemon chew was selected 7 times.
A watermelon chew was selected 8 times.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Abigail removes
from the bag will be a flavor other than watermelon as a decimal to the nearest
hundredth.
