    There are 16 pink out of (16+34+24+26) total. So the probability of picking a pink one is:

    16/100=4/25

    16+34+24+26=100, 16/100=4/25 C. 4/25

    It's C. The way that you figure this out is by adding up all of your factors (jelly beans) and it's 100. Then, you take 16/100 and simplify it and it's 4/25. Hope i helped!

    There's 100 jelly beans altogether, so the

    probability of picking a pink one is 16/100 = 4/25 (choice C)
