atlas · Answer

the probability of finding a dessert with chocolates AND nuts was 24%.......which means 24 out of a 100
and you know that the chosen dessert is chocolate  - so you have to find the probabilty of it having nut - so you have to convert the 24out of 100 chance to x out of 74
24/100 = x/74
or, x = 0.24 * 74 = 17.8
