A cooler at a picnic contains 100 cans of soda covered by ice. There are 18 cans of cola, 26 cans of orange soda, 25 cans of ginger ale, and 31 cans of root beer. The cans are all the same size and shape. If one can is selected at random from the cooler, determine the probability that the soda selected is cola, root beer, or orange soda/The probability that the can selected is a cola, root beer, or orange soda is _______. (Simplify your answer. Type a fraction.)

Solution

Probability of selecting cola is 18/100

Probability of selecting root beer is 31/100

probability of selecting orange soda is 26/100

Required probability=(18/100)+(31/100)+(26/100)=75/100=3/4
