A certain kind of soda comes in five flavors, each of which has a different share of the overall sales:
mango — 32% of the sales
piña colada — 27% of the sales
tamarindo — 22% of the sales
watermelon — 13% of the sales
guava — 6% of the sales

What is the probability that the next soda sold will be one of the top three sellers?

Type your answer as a fraction reduced to the simplest form, like this: 3/4

Well the top 3 sellers would be the top 3 percents....so

we want the sum of those top 3...
Mango + pina colada + tamarindo
32 + 27 + 22 = 81

So since this is all out of 100% we have

$$\frac{ 81 }{ 100 }$$

And this would be the simplest form since 81/100 doesn't have any common divisors...
