Answer: 0.81 or 81%

Explanation:

We are looking for the probability that the customer ordered a hot drink if they ordered a large one. This means that our whole is 27, since 22 Hot Large + 5 Cold Large = 27 total large drinks.

To find the probability, we will divide the total number of wanted outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.


\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{possible outcomes}} =\frac{\text{hot large drink}}{\text{large drink}} =(22)/(27) =0.81\text{ or } 81\%
