At Southwest High School, there is a vending machine on the second floor that is broken, so the students never know what kind of drink they will receive. Of the first 47 students to use the vending machine, 10 received lemon-lime drinks and 19 received cola drinks. Lisa purchases a drink from the vending machine. Based on this information, what is the probability that her drink is neither lemon-lime nor cola?

What do you think the answer is?

B?

anonymous · Answer

We already know that the total would be out of 47 so we can cross C out.

anonymous · Answer

29 students had a drink that was either lemon-lime or cola

anonymous · Answer

Using that information, we can subtract 29 from the total of 47 students to get the number of people who did NOT have lemon-lime or cola. You would get 18/47
