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%

1 answer

The total number of candies in the bowl is 5 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 7 = 25.

The probability of choosing an orange candy is the number of orange candies divided by the total number of candies:

5/25 = 1/5 = 20%

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. 20%
