Question

George has a bag with 4 mint sticks, 3 jelly treats, and 13 fruit tart chews. If he eats one piece every 5 minutes, what is the probability his first two pieces will be a jelly treat and a mint stick and represent as a percent to the nearest tenth if necessary?

Answer 1

12/625 or 1.9%

Explanation:

Adding all of the candy pieces together, you get 25, the denominator.

3/25*4/25=12/625

12/625=.0192

.0192*100=1.92%
