Use the table to answer the question.
Number of White Balls Selected Number of Red Balls Selected
Bowl A 5 15
Bowl B 16 4
Bowls A and B contain a number of white and red balls. Simon repeatedly selected a ball from both bowls and recorded the results in a table. Using Simon’s results, what is the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A? The answer needs to be in percent form.

To find the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A, we need to add up the total number of times a red ball was selected from Bowl A and divide it by the total number of times a ball was selected from Bowl A.
Total number of times a red ball was selected from Bowl A = 15
Total number of times a ball was selected from Bowl A = 5 + 15 = 20
Experimental probability = (15/20) * 100% = 75%
