A Halloween basket of candy contains 8 Hershey chocolate bars, 4 KitKats, 3 bags of M&M's and 5 Snickers. What is the probability of not
selecting a Kit Kat from the Halloween basket?


Sagot :

The are 20 pieces of candy in the basket
16 are not Kit Kat’s.
The probability is 16 /20 that you will not pick a KitKat. Or 4/5 or 80 percent

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + 4 + 3 + 5 = 20 (total candies)

8 + 3 + 5 = 16 (not KitKats)

16 ÷ 20 = 0.8

0.8 × 100 = 80
