To find the probability that the next chew Lamonte removes from the bag will be an apple chew, we need to use the ratio of apple chews selected to the total number of chews selected.

- Apple chews selected: 13
- Total chews selected: 13 (apple) + 6 (strawberry) + 15 (lime) = 34

The probability \( P \) of selecting an apple chew is:
\[
P(\text{apple}) = \frac{\text{apple chews}}{\text{total chews}} = \frac{13}{34}
\]

To convert this to a percentage:
\[
P(\text{apple}) \times 100 = \frac{13}{34} \times 100 \approx 38.24\%
\]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the probability is **38%**.

Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are 5 related questions:
1. How do you calculate probabilities in general?
2. How do you round probabilities to whole numbers?
3. What is the probability of selecting a lime chew in this experiment?
4. How would the probability change if the number of experiments increased?
5. What is the sum of probabilities for all outcomes in this scenario?

**Tip:** Always ensure the total number of outcomes is correct when calculating probabilities!

Based on these results, express the probability that the next chew Lamonte removes from the bag will be an apple chew as a percent to the nearest whole number.

Learn how to calculate the probability of selecting an apple chew in a random experiment. Based on a trial of 34 selections, 13 were apple chews, resulting in a probability of approximately 38%. This problem involves probability and percentage calculations suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
