A zoo store sells caps with different animals pictured on the cap. The table shows the animals pictured on the last 100 caps sold. The manager plans to order 1500 new caps. Use probability to decide how many orangutan caps the manager should order.

CNDLO: Let;s see: 30/100 =X/1500; X =(30x 1500)/100=(45,000)/100=450 caps with tiger on them.
Let's see: 20/100 = X/1500= (20 x 1500)/100=300 Orangutan. Now let's use that great brain of your's to think : The manager sold 30 tiger caps out of 100 = 30/10=3/10 of caps he sells will be tiger caps. We don't care how many caps he orders as long as 3/10 of them are tiger caps. ie: 3/10 x 1500=4500/10=450. Hope this helps. Good mLuck.
