Question

There are 64 cookies in a jar. The probability of randomly choosing an oatmeal cookie from the jar is 37.5%. How many of the cookies are NOT oatmeal cookies?

Answer 1

40 cookies aren't oatmeal

Explanation:

100% (all of the cookies) - 37.5% (the ones that are oatmeal) = 62.5% (the percentage amount of cookies that aren't oatmeal)

The number of cookies (64) * 0.625 (62.5% in decimal form) = 40 cookies that aren't oatmeal

Answer 2

26.5%

Explanation:

All you have to do is subtract 64 - 37.5 which would get you to 26.5%. Hope this helps.
