Answer: 0.23% to get two red candies.

Let's count the amounf of candies...

There's 9 red candies

There's 6 blue candies

There's 5 green candies

Let's add them all up...

9 + 6 + 5 = 20

Now, let's divide the red, blue, and green candies by the total amount.

9 ÷ 20 = 0.45

6 ÷ 20 = 0.3

5 ÷ 20 = 0.25

Remember, we have to pick two, so we have to divide once again. (Just think 20 as like 1)

0.45 ÷ 2 = 0.225 (Since we're rounding to the nearest hundrenth the answer will be 0.23)

0.3 ÷ 2 = 0.15

0.25 ÷ 2 = 0.125

Therefore, it would be a 0.23% to get two red candies.

I hope this helps
