    23/35

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability ratio will be expresses with denominators of 12+7+16=35

    Probability of selecting carmel is 12/35

    Probability of selecting mints is 7/35=1/5

    Probability of selecting chocolates is 16/35

    Probability of not selecting a carmel will be given by 1-probability of selecting a carmel since maximum probability is always 1 or 100%

    Probability of not selecting a camel will be 1-12/35=35/35-12/35=23/35

    Alternatively, the probability of not selecting a carmel is equivalent to the sum of probability of either selecting a dark chocolate or mint which will be 7/35+16/35=23/35

    The answers are the same, 23/35
