Each card in a deck of game cards has a different shape on it. Twelve cards have a diamond, 8 have a square, and 5 have a circle. What is the probability of drawing a circle, replacing it, and drawing a diamond?

Answer:

20% probability of drawing a circle and then 48% chance of replacing it with a diamond. Hope i helped :)

Explanation:

12 Diamonds + 8 squares + 5 circle =25 card total

Probability of drawing a circle

5cirles( all of our circular card) /25 ( our whole deck with all the cards)

5/25 x 100% = 20% chance of drawing a circle in the first draw

12/25 x 100% = 48% chance of drawing a diamond after replacing the circle back in the deck
