A box contains 100 colored chips.

some are yellow and some are green.

John chooses a chip at random, records the color, and places it back in the bag.

Use proportion.

[tex]\frac{19}{76}=\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

[tex]1900 = 76x[/tex]

divide both sides by 76

[tex]\frac{1900}{76}=\frac{76x}{76} \\ \\\\\frac{1900}{76}=x[/tex]
