Question

One member from a book club is randomly selected. There is a 40% chance the member is male, and there is a 15% chance that the member is male and finished reading the last book.

What is the probability that the member did not finish reading the last book, given that the member is male?

Write the probability as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth if needed.

_________ %

Answer 1

what is \(100\%-15\%\)?

Answer 15

85

Answer 16

so its 85%
