A bag contains 4 oranges, 3 grapefruits, and 8 tangerines. A piece of fruit is chosen from the bag at random. What is the probability that a grapefruit is NOT chosen?

What you’ll have to do is find the probability of the oranges and the tangerines. There is a total is 15 fruit. 12 of those are not grapefruit. You’ll then have to find the percentage of 12/15.


12 is divided by 15, then multiplied by 100. 

12 divided by 15 = 0.08

0.08 x 100 = 80

There is an 80% chance that a grapefruit will not be picked.
