Acooler at a picnic contains 100 cans of soda covered by ice. there are 34 cans of cola, 50 cans of orange soda, 12 cans of ginger ale, and 4 cans of root beer. the cans are all the same size and shape. if one can is selected at random from the cooler, determine the probability that the soda selected is root beer, cola comma or ginger ale.

the probability that the can selected is a root beer, cola comma or ginger ale is nothing .
(type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

P = 1/2 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of cans = 100

Cans of cola = 34

Cans of orange soda = 50

Cans of ginger ale = 12

Cans of root beer = 4

Probability of selecting

- a can of cola = 34/100 = 0.34

- a can of orange soda = 50/100 = 0.5

- a can of ginger ale = 12/100 = 0.12

- a can of root beer = 4/100 = 0.04

Since we are asked the probability that the can selected is a root beer, cola, or ginger ale, we need to add together the probabilities of each.

P = 0.04 + 0.34 + 0.12 = 0.5 = 1/2

step-by-step explanation:

the total is 23.97. 0.25% is off so you have to subtracting 25% from 100% and you will get 75% if you convert it to decimal you will get 0.75. you have to find the original because the formula is % times original = total.so you have the total and the % so you just have to plug it in.
