A bag of 100 hard candies included 30 butterscotch, 40 peppermint, 15 strawberry, 10 orange, and 5 banana. The probability that the first candy pulled out of the bag will be butterscotch or strawberry is .45
a) true
b) false

Respuesta :

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

there is 100 candies. That means we can easily turn the amount of each type of candy into a percent. there was 30 butterscotch which means that is 30 percent. There was 15 strawberry which means that is 15 percent. add that and you get 45. This is a shortcut and i advise you use the way your teacher taught you.
