Question

)A spinner is divided into sections of equal size, of which some are red, some are blue, and the remaining are green. The probability of the arrow landing on a section colored red is 50%. The probability of the arrow landing on a section colored blue is 10%. What is the probability of the arrow landing on a section colored green? I need help

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

The probability of the arrow landing on the green section is a 40% chance

This is because there are only 3 sections where one is 50 and the other is 10

To find the green we can create an equation, where x = green section

50 + 10 + x = 100

The equation equals 100 because that's the highest the percentage will go in probability, unless we were told otherwise

60 + x = 100

x = 100 - 60

x = 40
