You have a bowl with 5 orange, 6 blue, 3 green, 4 red and 7 yellow candies. What is the probability that you will choose an orange candy out of the bowl?
A
50%
B
60%
C
20%
D
25%
A 50% chance.
There are a total of 5 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 7 = 25 candies in the bowl. Since there are 5 orange candies, the probability of choosing an orange candy is 5/25 = 1/5 = 0.5 = 50%.
