    First you add all the candies together to get 20 in the bag

    2+11+7=20

    jelly treat:

    now we divide 11 by 20 to get a decimal

    11/20 =.55

    multiply. 55 by 100 to change it to a percentage

    .55*100=55

    first part of answer: He has a 55% chance of getting a jelly treat

    mint stick:

    divide 2 by 20 to get a decimal

    2/20=.1

    change. 1 to a percent by multiplying by 100

    .1*100=10

    second part of answer: he has a 10% chance of getting a mintstick
