1 answer

First, we need to calculate the total number of treats Lana has in the drawer: 4 pig’s ears + 2 rawhide twists + 6 busy bones + 4 dental chews = 16 treats.

The number of treats that are not pig’s ears is 16 - 4 = 12.

Therefore, the probability that Lana will NOT choose a pig’s ear is 12/16 or 3/4, which simplifies to 75%.
