There are 20 sweets in a bag.
Seven of them are strawberry.
A sweet is taken at random from the bag.
What is the probability that the sweet taken is not strawberry?

7 of the sweets in the bag are strawberry. Since there are 20 sweets total in the bag, 20 - 7 = 13 sweets in the bag must be non-strawberry.

The probability that a sweet taken at random from the bag is not strawberry would thus be 13/20.
