Harper has a bag that contains apple chews, cherry chews, and lime chews. She performs an experiment. Harper randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Harper performs the experiment 38 times. The results are shown below:

An apple chew was selected 22 times.
A cherry chew was selected 6 times.
A lime chew was selected 10 times.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Harper removes from the bag will be lime chew as a percent to the nearest whole number.

The total number of chews selected in the experiment is 38.

The probability of selecting a lime chew is 10/38 = 5/19.

To express this probability as a percent, we multiply by 100:
(5/19) * 100 = 26.32

Therefore, the probability that the next chew Harper removes from the bag will be a lime chew is approximately 26%.
Fatoumata owns a small business selling ice-cream. She knows that in the last week 13 customers paid cash, 39 customers used a debit card, and 5 customers used a credit card.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next customer will pay with a debit card as a percent to the nearest whole number.
The total number of customers who paid in the last week is 13 (cash) + 39 (debit card) + 5 (credit card) = 57.

The probability of a customer paying with a debit card is 39/57.

To express this probability as a percent, we multiply by 100:
(39/57) * 100 ≈ 68.42

Therefore, the probability that the next customer will pay with a debit card is approximately 68%.
Kaylee owns a small business selling clothing. She knows that in the last week 3 customers paid cash, 21 customers used a debit card, and 46 customers used a credit card.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next customer will pay with a debit card as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.
The total number of customers who paid in the last week is 3 (cash) + 21 (debit card) + 46 (credit card) = 70.

The probability of a customer paying with a credit card is 21/70.

Therefore, the probability that the next customer will pay with a debit card as a decimal to the nearest hundredth is 0.30.
Elijah has a bag that contains pineapple chews, strawberry chews, and peach chews. He performs an experiment. Elijah randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Elijah performs the experiment 59 times. The results are shown below:
A pineapple chew was selected 15 times.
A strawberry chew was selected 26 times.
A peach chew was selected 18 times.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Elijah removes from the bag will be pineapple chew as a percent to the nearest whole number.
The total number of chews selected in the experiment is 59.

The probability of selecting a pineapple chew is 15/59.

To express this probability as a percent, we multiply by 100:
(15/59) * 100 ≈ 25.42

Therefore, the probability that the next chew Elijah removes from the bag will be a pineapple chew is approximately 25%.
In a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their character's "costumes," or appearance. Fwam sets up a website where players can buy and sell these costumes online. Information about the number of people who visited the website and the number of costumes purchased in a single day is listed below.
168 visitors purchased no costume.
252 visitors purchased exactly one costume.
47 visitors purchased more than one costume.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase no costume as a percent to the nearest whole number.
The total number of visitors on the website in a single day is 168 (purchased no costume) + 252 (purchased one costume) + 47 (purchased more than one costume) = 467.

The probability that the next person will purchase no costume is 168/467.

To express this probability as a percent, we multiply by 100:
(168/467) * 100 ≈ 36.00

Therefore, the probability that the next person will purchase no costume is approximately 36%.
