Question

A bakery sells chocolate, cinnamon, maple, honey, and jelly donuts. It currently has

48 total donuts in stock. If Xiwen picks one donut from the bakery at random, she
has a 1/4 chance of picking a chocolate donut. How many chocolate donuts does
the bakery have in stock?

Answer 1

Since the bakery has only 48 donuts in stock and Xiwen has a 1/4 chance of picking a chocolate donut, there are a dozen (12) chocolate donuts in stock.

1/4 = 0.25

0.25 x 48 = 12
