In a bag of candies there are 13 red candies, 13 green candies, 13 yellow candies, and 13 blue candies. if you choose 1 candy from the bag, what is the probability the candy will not be blue?

As a fraction, the answer is 3/4

In decimal form that is equivalent to 0.75, which converts to 75%

Work Shown:

13 red

13 green

13 yellow

13 blue

13+13+13+13 = 52 total

52 - 13 = 39 non-blue

There are 39 non-blue candies out of 52 total.

39/52 = 3/4 is the probability, as a fraction, that we pick a non-blue candy.

3/4 = 0.75 = 75%
