Work out the probability it is a humbug.

The probability of an eclair is 1/15, which means for every 1 eclair there is a total of 15 sweets.

Since the table says there is 3 eclairs, there is 3 x 15 = 45 total sweets.

Now add the 3 different sweets together to equal 45:

3 + 2x+6 + x = 45

Combine like terms:

3x +9 = 45

Subtract 9 from each side:

3x = 36

Divide each side by 3:

X = 36 /3

x = 12

Now you have x, calculate the number of humbugs:

2x +6 = 2(12) +6 = 24 + 6 = 30 total humbugs.

The probability of picking one would be 30/45, which reduces to 2/3.
