Question

A box contains 6 black pens, 4 blue pens, and 7 red pens. Without looking, Clarissa randomly picks a red pen out of the box. If she chooses another pen out of the box without replacing the first one, what is the probability that she will pick a red pen both times? Write your answer as a percent rounded to the nearest whole.​

Answer 1

without replacing 7 becomes 6 so

6+6+4=16
