To find the probability of selecting the letter "a" from the letter tiles in the box, we first need to determine the total number of letter tiles in the box and the number of "a" tiles in the box.

Let's say there are 100 letter tiles in the box and 10 of them are the letter "a".

The probability of selecting the letter "a" can be calculated as follows:

Probability = (Number of "a" tiles) / (Total number of tiles)
Probability = 10 / 100
Probability = 1 / 10
Probability = 0.1

Therefore, the probability of selecting the letter "a" from the letter tiles in the box is 0.1 or 10%.
