For $3.98 you can get a salad, main course, and dessert at the cafeteria. if you have a choice of 2 different salads, 2 different main courses, and 5 different desserts, then how many different meals can you get for $3.98?

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
