A restaurant serves a bowl of candies to their customers. The bowl of candies Gabriel receives has 10 chocolate candies,
8 coffee candies, and 12 caramel candies. After Gabriel chooses a candy, he eats it.
Find the probability of getting candies with the indicated flavors
a. P(caramel or not coffee)
b. P(chocolate or not caramel)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


There are 10 + 8 + 12 = 30 candies, in total.


(a)  P(caramel or not coffee) = %2812%2B10%29%2F30.    Use your calculator



(b)  P(chocolate or not caramel) = %2810%2B8%29%2F30.    Use your calculator.
