A tray contains 12 ham sandwiches, 10 turkey sandwiches, and 8 peanut butter sandwiches. If Carrie takes a sandwich from the tray at random, what is the probability that she takes a ham sandwich?
A. 8%
B.12%
C.40%
D.67%

And If can explain to me why is that answer l will be appreciate!

Answer

You have 12 ham out of a total of 30, which reduces to 2 chances out of 5 or 40%.

Answer

c
its less than half, but more than 12% since 12/30 is not 0.12
remember that
also, if you use a calculater for percentages with division the answer should
be 0. then the percentage so in this case it would be 12/30
12 for the ham, 30 for the total of sandwiches
