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?

Answer:

70%

What is given: 20% of one color, and 10% of another.

That gives us 30% of 100%.

Take away the smaller percentage from the limit, which would be 30 from 100.

You are left with 70%, which means that 20% is red, 10% is blue, and 70% is green.

I hope i helped! (If its not correct I will edit my answer before i submit the test :D
