A deli sandwich shop is offering either a ham or turkey sandwich, either tomato or vegetable soup, and either coffee or milk for their lunch special. What is the probability that a customer will choose vegetable soup as part of the chosen combination?

Ok, the first step is to count all the possible selections that we have and the number of options in each selection:

1) Sandwich: 2 options, ham or turkey.

2) Soup, 2 options, tomato or vegetable.

3) Drink, 2 options, coffee or milk.

(i assume that the sandwich and the soup are separated selections)

Now, if the customer chooses at random, the probability that in one given selection he selects a given outcome is equal to the number of options that match the outcome divided by the total number of options for that selection.

Then in the soup selection we have: options that match the outcome (one, is the vegetable soup). Total number of options = 2.

Then the probability is:

P = 1/2 = 0.5

or 0.5*100% = 50% in percentage form.

according to the triangle sum theorem, all the angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. if we know one angle is already 90, we do 180-90=90. the other 2 angles must add up to 90, exactly.
