Answer: 50% (choice B)

====================================================

Work Shown:

A = he eats pizza

B = he drinks cola

P(A) = 0.40

P(B) = 0.60

P(A and B) = 0.30

Then apply the conditional probability formula.

P(A given B) = P(A and B)/P(B)

P(A given B) = 0.30/0.60

P(A given B) = 0.5 exactly

P(A given B) = 50%

If we know for certain he drinks cola, then there's a 50% chance of him eating pizza.
