Answer 1

59/110

Explanation:

Based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase one or more costumes as a fraction in simplest form.

204 no costume, 209 exactly one costume, 27 more than one costume.

204+\color{steelblue}{209}+\color{steelblue}{27}=

204+209+27=

\,\,\color{indianred}{440}

440

There were a toal of 440 customers. 209+27=236 visitors purchased one or more costumes costumes.

Probability the next visitor will purchase one or more costumes:

\frac{\color{steelblue}{236}}{\color{indianred}{440}}=

440

236

​

=

\,\,\frac{59}{110}
