Hello there.

Question: In a cookie jar containing 6 chocolate chip cookies, 8 sugar cookies, and 10 peanut butter cookies, what is the probability that a person who isn’t looking as they pull out one cookie, will get a chocolate chip cookie?

Answer: First you need to calculate the total of cookies in the jar.
6 + 10 + 8 = 24.
There are 6 chocolate chip cookies. 
Therefore the fraction is 
[tex] \frac{6}{24} [/tex]
You can simplify it after that if you wish to.

In short, Your answer is [tex] \frac{6}{24} [/tex] .
In simplified form it would be [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex].

Hope This Helps You!
