The total number of candy-coated chocolate pieces is 12 + 23 + 25 + 15 = 75.
The probability of pulling out a red one is the number of red ones (12) divided by the total number of candy-coated chocolate pieces (75).
Probability = 12/75 = 0.16
To express this as a percentage, multiply by 100:
Probability = 0.16 x 100 = 16%
Therefore, the probability that Maelynn pulls out a red candy-coated chocolate piece is 16%.
Maelynn has a bag full of candy-coated chocolate pieces. There are 12 red ones, 23 yellow ones, 25 blue ones, and 15 orange ones. What is the probability, expressed as a percent, that she pulls out a red one?(1 point)
