Question

A box is filled with 8 blue cards, 6 red cards, and 6 yellow cards. A card is chosen at a random from the box. What is the probability that the card is not red ? Write your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

14/20 or .7 or 70%

Explanation:

Total Number of cards: 20

Number of Red cards: 6

The leftover cards: 20 -6 = 14

The probability of not getting a red = 14/20

14/20 as a decimal = 14/20 = 70/100 = .7

14/20 as a percent = 14/20 = 70/100 = 70%
