Food Express is running a special promotion in which customers can win a free gallon of milk with their food purchase if there is a star on their receipt. So far, 219 of the first 264 customers have not received a star on their receipts. What is the experimental probability of winning a free gallon of milk?

Question

A.3/88
B.15/88
C.73/88
D.1/78

Answer 1

The number of customers who have received a star on their receipt is 264 - 219 = 45.

The experimental probability of winning a free gallon of milk is the number of customers who received a star on their receipt divided by the total number of customers:

45/264

Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3 gives:

15/88

Therefore, the answer is B. 15/88.
