    52/145 ≈ 0.359 = 35.9%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are a total of 76+69 = 145 people in the room. Of them, 29+23 = 52 earn more than $50,000 per year. The probability of choosing one of those at random is 52/145 ≈ 0.35862 ≈ 35.9%.

    ___

    For all of these probability problems, the probability of selecting an item with particular characteristics is the ratio of the number of such items to the total number of possible choices.
