Answer: 30% or 3/10.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the probablilty of getting a white shirt, we first have to find the total number of shirts: 3 white + 2 blue + 5 red = 10 total. Out of the ten total, there are 3 white shirts. The probability of getting a white shirt is 3/10, because out of the 10 total shirts, 3 shirts are white.
