What is the probability that Bungles will select a yellow balloon?

Answer 1

Well if you add all of them together there are 42 balloons total

What I did is that I divided 42 by the number of yellow balloons, which is 14

Answer 3

42/14 = 3

Just add the total and put the amount of yellow balloons as the numerator and the sum as the denominator.
