The total number of orange balls can be calculated by subtracting the number of pink balls from the total number of balls:
Total number of orange balls = Total number of balls - Number of pink balls
Total number of orange balls = 89 - 36
Total number of orange balls = 53
The probability of selecting an orange ball is given by:
Probability of selecting an orange ball = Number of orange balls / Total number of balls
Probability of selecting an orange ball = 53 / 89
Therefore, the probability that the ball chosen at random is orange is 53/89.
There are 89 balls in a bag.
36 of the balls are pink.
The rest of the balls are orange.
One of the balls is taken at random.
What is the probability that the ball is orange?
