Respuesta :

Answer:

33.33% probability that she takes a can of fruit punch

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

Taking a can of fruit punch.

There are 12 cans of fruit punch, so [tex]D = 12[/tex]

Total outcomes:

Total number of cans.

[tex]T = 14+12+10 = 36[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{12}{36} = 0.3333[/tex]

33.33% probability that she takes a can of fruit punch
