Which is 50. So (60/100) x (50/100)

@jim_thompson5910 am not sure how to explain my answer for this question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
probability = favorable cases / possible cases = 60/100 × 50/100 = (60 × 50)/(100×100) =3000/10000 = 0.3 = 30

should I leave it as 30 or 30%
OpenStudy (anonymous):
As 30% that's your total. Because it's 50% and 60%
