. Jamie had a box of chocolates. Fifteen candies were cream filled, eight candies were caramels, seven were fruit filled and ten candies contained nuts. Jamie picked one candy from the box without looking. What is the probability, written as a percent, that the candy she picked did not contain nuts? 37.5% 30% 75% 25%

bralyn:

hwta are u typin thas so long.........

bralyn:

what*

IhelpUuHELPme:

so there is 15 = cream filled 8 = caramels 7 = fruit filled 10 = contained nuts To find probability 1.Determine a single event with a single outcome. 2.Identify the total number of outcomes that can occur. 3.Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes.

copied from Kathy xd [ 15 = cream filled 8 = caramels 7 = fruit filled 10 = contained nut ] Now, we first have to find, how many are there in all Can you add 15+8+7+10

bralyn:

40

bralyn:

bralyn:

@snowflake0531

snowflake0531:

Yep, and so now, you have to figure out, how many are without nuts 15 = cream filled 8 = caramels 7 = fruit filled 10 = contained nuts What is 15+8+7?

bralyn:

40

snowflake0531:

Nope, check again xd

bralyn:

30

snowflake0531:

yep, so we have 30/40 Do you know how to convert that into a percentage?

bralyn:

40%

snowflake0531:

Nope, What is 30/40 first? or, what is 3/4

bralyn:

60%

snowflake0531:

Nope do 3/4 xd

bralyn:

7

bralyn:

?

snowflake0531:

3/4 xd use. a. calculator lmao

bralyn:

what does xd mean

snowflake0531:

LOL, xd is just xD, kinda like a smile

snowflake0531:

what's 3/4?

bralyn:

0.75

snowflake0531:

Yep, and now we have to convert it to a percentage, which is 75%

bralyn:

convert it with what

snowflake0531:

percentage, so multiply 0.75 by 100

bralyn:

75

snowflake0531:

Yep, so it's 75%
