a basket contains 20 green apples and 30 red apples. If a piece of fruit is selected at random from the basket, what is the probability that it will not be a red apple?

Respuesta :

Answer:

there is a 40% chance you will get a green apple and a 60% chance you will get a red apple.

Take the number of apples of each color and divide it by the WHOLE number of apples to get ur answers.

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

We add the red apples and the green apples to get a total of 50 apples. Since we want the result of the apple not being red we divide 20 (# of green apples) over the total (50 apples) which gets us 0.4.

Since we want a percent we multiply 0.4 by 100 to get 40% or 20/50
