A bag contains 15 green, 18 yellow, and 16 orange balls. One ball is randomly selected.

To the nearest percent, what is the probability of the event?

15+18+16=49 This is your total number of balls.

You have 15/49 green balls. Plug this fraction into a calculator: 15:49. You get 0.306 To make this a percentage, multiply it by 100. You get 30.6 which rounds up to 31%. The probability of taking out a green ball is 31%. You can find the probability of the other colors by repeating the process. Message me if you have more questions.
