A box of candy contains 11 pieces of gummy candy, 13 pieces of gum, 8 truffles, and 9 mints. Sue randomly grabs a piece of gum from the bag. What is the probability that the next piece of candy taken will be a piece of gum or a piece of gummy candy?

1/2
12/21
50/50
23/40

Explanation

Answer: D - The probability that the next piece of candy taken will be a piece of gum or a piece of gummy candy is 23/40. To find the probability, you must add 12 pieces of gum (13 pieces of gum minus the 1 that she already took) to 11 pieces of gummy candy to get 23. To get 40, you add all pieces of candy minus the 1 that she already took.
