You have a bag of marbles, inside the bag of marbles there are 2 blue marbles, 5 red marbles and 3 yellow. What is the probability that you will draw a yellow marble if you randomly pick out one marble from the bag.

Here is how to solve a probability problem. Add the main numbers up: (2+5+3=10) then you need to figure out how to turn it into a percent. You start by making a fraction because a fraction is a percent. In this problem, you are trying to find out the Probability of drawing out a yellow marble from the bag. (The fraction would be 3/10). Then you turn the fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator. (3/10=.3) Then you change the decimal into a percent so
