Question

Seventy-five percent of the flowers in the arrangement are roses and the rest are tulips. Of the tulips, 50 percent are pink.

To the nearest whole percent, what is the probability that a randomly chosen flower from the arrangement is a pink tulip?

13%
38%
50%
67%

Answer 1

75% are roses, so tulips = 25%. Of those tulips, 50% are pink, so pink tulips = 25% × 50% = 12.5%, which rounds to 13%.

Answer: 13%
