The probability of selecting a turkey sandwich and a bag of pretzels is 3/8.

What is the probability?

Probability determines the likelihood that an event would happen. The odds the event occurs is 1 and the odds that the event does not occur is 0.

The probability of selecting a turkey sandwich and a bag of pretzels  = number of turkey sandwiches / total number of sandwiches x number of pretziel bags / total number of bags

12/20 x 10/16 = 3/8
