If there are 48 tacks, (15+5+20+8), you want to divide the number of one color over the total to find the percentage of that color out of the whole.

If there are 8 silver tacks, take 8 over 48, which equals .167.If there are 20 white tacks, take 20 over 48, which equals .4167


Now you know the percentage of silver out of the whole, and the percentage of white out of the whole.


To figure out the white and silver together, add them together!
White and Silver tacks make up about .583, or 58.3%


And that's your answer. You have a 58% chance of picking a white or silver tack from the box when picked at random.

Lisa has 9 rings in her jewelry box Five are gold and 4 are silver If she randomly selects 3 rings to wear to a party find the probability that 2 are silver or 2 are gold?

Probability=Successes/Outcomes She has 9 rings, and wants to choose 3 to wear. To find the number of outcomes: 9 C 3= 84. There are 84 possible outcomes Now you need to find the number of successes When she wears 2 silver rings, she has to wear 1 gold ring, and when she wears 2 gold rings, she must wear 1 silver ring. This is because she randomly selects 3 rings to wear. Because these are mutually exclusive events, P(2 silver or 2 gold)= P(2 silver and 1 gold) + P(2 gold and 1 silver) # of successes= (4 C 2)(5 C 1) +(5 C 2)(4 C 1) # of successes= (6)(5)+(10)(4) # of successes= 30+40 # of successes= 70 P(2 silver or 2 gold)= successes/outcomes P(2 silver or 2 gold)= 70/84 P(2 silver or 2 gold)= 5/6
