Twenty-two percent of the large pieces of mail that Rachel received this week were magazines and the rest were catalogs. Of the catalogs, 36 percent were for clothing. To the nearest whole percent, what is the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog?

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

Percent of catalogues received = 100% - percent of magazines received

100 - 22 = 78%

Percent of clothing catalogues = 0.78 x 36 = 28%

it would be 6xy and -16xy.
