A flower shop has 8 bouquets of red lilies, 5 bouquets of pink lies and 7 bouquets of violet lilies. Raymond who is colorblind buys his gf a bouquet of lilies. What is the probability of raymond not picking red lilies

12/20, or 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of Raymond not picking red lillies, we first must establish the total amount Raymond can choose from as well as the amount of non-red lillies.

The total amount Raymond can choose from is the amount of bouqets. There are 8 red ones, 5 pink ones, and 7 violet ones. This means that there are 8+5+7=20 total bouquets.

The amount of non-red lillies is determined because we are asked to find the probability of selecting a non-red bouquet. We find the number of non-red bouquets by subtracting the total (20) by the number of red bouquets (8) to get 12.

Therefore, the total amount is 20 and the number of non-red bouquets is 12. Thus, if Raymond picks one bouquet, the probability of him selecting a non-red one is 12/20, or 3/5. The probability of him picking up a red bouquet, similarly, would be 8/20, as there are 8 options of red bouquets out of 20 total

step-by-step explanation:

if x = 2 you have to find x to finish the problem

c.

step-by-step explanation:

because first you have to add the 4x, 9x, and the 7x together and you get 20x and then you add the last numbers up and you get 5and then you put the subtraction sign in there and that's how you get the answer.
