Answer 1

I don't understand the answer list, but the answer should be a 1/4 chance, or 25%.

Explanation:

Black is 40, while yellow is 20, orange is 25 and purple is 15. If we add those all together, we get 100. We need the probability that one is orange, so we divide.

`(25)/(100)` is equal to
`(1)/(4)` or 25%.

She has a 25% chance of the band being orange.

Answer 2

25/100 or 1/4

Step-by2-step explanation:

40+20+25+15=100

so then if there id 100 you got 25/100 but then you got to simplify and you get 1/4.
