Mrs. Johnson gives out prizes to her students who are good in class. Kids draw for a chance to win 3 prizes. They can win candy, pencils, or money. There is a 3/5 chance to win candy, and a 3/10 chance to win pencils. What is the probability of winning money? Responses A Image with alt text: B Image with alt text: C Image with alt text: D

The probability of winning money can be calculated by finding the sum of the probabilities of winning candy and pencils, and then subtracting that from 1.

Probability of winning candy = 3/5 = 0.6
Probability of winning pencils = 3/10 = 0.3

Total probability of winning candy or pencils = 0.6 + 0.3 = 0.9

Therefore, the probability of winning money = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

So, the probability of winning money is 0.1 or 1/10.
