Question

A bag has 5 apples, 10 oranges, and 5 peaches. What is the probability of pulling out an apple? reduced fraction, decimal, and then percent.

Answer 1

Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The probability of pulling out an apple is 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Given data

        Number of apples = 5

        Number of oranges = 10

        Number of peaches = 5

• So total number of fruit in bag = 5+10+5 = 20

• Total number of outcome = 20

• We are pulling out apple where number of apples is 5

        So number of favourable outcome = 5

• We know formula of probability

        $\mathbf{Probability=\frac{Number \ of \ favourable \ outcome}{Total \ outcome}}$

• On putting respective value in above equation

        $\mathbf{Probability\ of\ pulling \ out \ apple=\frac{5}{20}}$

        $\mathbf{Probability\ of\ pulling \ out \ apple=\frac{1}{4}}$      Answer

• In decimal, we can write probability

        $\mathbf{Probability\ of\ pulling \ out \ apple=0.25}$    Answer

• In percentage, we can write probability

        Probability of pulling out apple = 0.25 ×100 = 25%    Answer
