The probability of choosing a can of tomato soup on the first draw is 2/10, since there are 2 cans of tomato soup out of a total of 10 cans.
After putting the tomato soup back, the probability of choosing a can of cheese soup on the second draw is 2/10, since there are 2 cans of cheese soup out of a total of 10 cans.
Therefore, the overall probability of choosing a can of tomato soup and then a can of cheese soup is (2/10) * (2/10) = 4/100 = 1/25 = 0.04 or 4%.
