The letter tiles C , A , R , E , and S are placed in a box. Without looking, Jorelle picks a letter tile from the box and records the result before placing it back. He repeats the procedure 100 times and observes the following results:
Outcomes C A R E S
Frequency 20 25 30 10 15
Based on the observed frequency, what is the probability that Jorelle will pick a letter R ? The answer should be in percent form.

The probability of picking the letter R can be calculated by taking the frequency of R (30) and dividing it by the total number of trials (100), then multiplying by 100 to get the answer in percentage form.
(30/100) x 100 = 30%
So, the probability that Jorelle will pick the letter R is 30%.
