In a box are a carton of dairy milk and Boonville chocolates. Two items are chosen at random from the box, without replacement. The probability of selecting dairy milk and then a Boonville chocolate is 0.47. The probability of selecting dairy milk on the first draw is 0.71. What is probability selecting a Boonville chocolate on the second draw. Given that the first chocolate drawn was dairy milk?

please help

Probability of choosing items in order is described as \[(probability of first item)\times (probability of second item)\] And that equals overall probability So I would solve\[.71x=.47\] Where x is the probability of drawing a chocolate
