Question

A jar has 28 cherry-flavored candies, 19 strawberry-flavored candies, 20-orange flavored candies, and 33 lemon-flavored candies. If a candy is taken from the jar at random, what is the probability that it will be a cherry-flavored cnady?

Answer 1

Answer: 7/25 or 28%

Explanation:

28 (cherry) + 19 (strawberry) + 20 (orange) + 33 (lemon) = 100 (total)

so p(cherry), or the probability of getting cherry, is 28/100 (7/25)

that as a percent is 28%
