29. A paint store chain produces and sells latex and semi-gloss paint. Based on long- range sales, the probability that a customer will purchase latex is 0.75 of those that purchase latex paint, 60% also purchase rollers. But 30% of semi-gloss buyers purchase rollers. Randomly selected buyer purchases a roller and a can of paint. What is the probability that the paint is latex?
