Question

A bag contains 30 pieces of candy. There are 15 grape, 7 cherry, 3 lemon, 5 strawberry. What is the probability of NOT drawing a cherry?

Answer 1

The probability is 23/30, .77, or 77 percent.

Explanation:

Add up all the non cherry options, then put them over the total, 30. You would get 23/30, or .7666666666..., which is also known as about 77 percent. So the probability is 23/30, .77, or 77 percent.
