Abasket contains 14 white eggs, 15 brown eggs, and 11 lemons. taylor is in a hurry to make breakfast and picks something from the basket at random.
the exact probability that taylor picks an egg from the basket is

Okay so probability is just percentage of a whole, right?

So you have 14 White Eggs + 15 Brown Eggs + 11 Lemons.

Add all those numbers together and you get your whole.

14 + 15 = 29    29+11 = 40

40 is your whole. 

So because you want to know how likely it is to pick up an egg, you would follow these steps.

100/40 = 2.5 (For each part of the 40, it is worth 2.5 percent.)

2.5 x 29 = 72.5

Your probability of picking an egg out of the bask is 72.5 percent or 72.5 out of 100.
