A paper bag contains a mixture of three types of treats: 12 granola bars, 10 fruits bars, and 8 cheese strips. Suppose that you play a game in which a treat is randomly taken from a bag and replaced, and then a second treat is drawn from the bag. You are allowed to keep the second treat only if it was thesame type as the treat that was drawn the first time. Determine the probability that you'll be able to keep a cheese strip.
