Question

There is a bag with only milk and dark chocolates.

The probability of randomly choosing a dark chocolate is
5
12
.
There are 25 dark chocolates in the bag and each is equally likely to be chosen.
Work out how many milk chocolates there must be.

Answer 1

35 milk chocolates

Explanation:

5/12 for first bag

5 x 5 = 25

12 x 5 = 60

25/60

25 of the total chocolate are dark and there are only two types of chocolate in the bag (milk and dark)

60 - 25 = 35
