The table below shows the number different colored buttons in a bag. A student puts her hand in the bag and randomly takes out one button. Each of the buttons is the same size and shape, so they are equally likely to be selected. Apply mathematics to determine the probability that she will take out a green button. Express the probability as a percentage. P (green) = % Color red orange yellow green blue Number of buttons 9 12 14 7 8
