Question

Some lemon, lime, and cherry lollipops are placed in a bowl. Some have a

chocolate center, and some do not. Suppose one of the lollipops is chosen
randomly from all the lollipops in the bowl. According to the table below, if it
is known to be lemon, what is the probability that it HAS a chocolate center?

Answer 1

Answer: C. 45%

"if it is known to be lemon" means we ignore any other flavor. I recommend covering up the other values, or you could highlight just the lemon column.

We have 9+11 = 20 lemon total. Of this 20 total, only 9 lemons have a chocolate center. So 9/20 = 0.45 = 45% of the lemon candies have a chocolate center.

Answer 2

45%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 20 lollilops with lemon in total. 9 of them have a chocolate center. 9/20=0.45. To convert it into percentage you would multiply the number by 100. 0.45*100=45

The answer is 45%
