Look at the table. Add the number of Bears, the number of Dens, and any others that are 8 years or older. Put that number in the numerator of a fraction that has as its denominator the TOTAL NUMBER OF Cub Scouts. Turn that fraction into a percentage by dividing the numerator by the denominator and multiplying by 100.

Hi James,

In order to solve any probability question you must do your target / the population

In this case your target is cub scouts as old as bear scouts, and your population is all cub scouts.


So simply divide cubs as old as bears by all cubs (may have to sum numbers to get this)


I am unable to see the table to advise you on the answer, but I hope that set up is helpful
