Question

On a game show, a contestant randomly chooses a chip from a bag that contains numbers and strikes. The theoretical probability of choosing a strike is 3/10. The bag contains 9 strikes. How many chips are in the bag?

Answer 1

Answer:-

Total amount of chips is 30

Explaination:-

If the probability of choosing a strike is 3/10, that means that from the total items available 3 out of 10 are strikes.

$\bigstar$ Now,

If there are 9 strikes total, then the equation results as:

(3/10) × (totalChips) = 9

If we solve for totalChips we have:-

3(totalChips) = 9 × 10 = 90

TotalChips = 90/3 = 30

Therefore, the total amount of chips in the bag is 30
