A college bookstore makes an order to replenish its stock of three different types of paper: college rule line paper, legal rule line paper, and graph paper. In addition, the paper is purchased bound as either spiral notebooks or paper pads. The table shows the store's order.Bookstore Order of Different Types of Paper\begin{tabular}{lccc} & College rule & Legal rule & Graph \\\hline Spiral notebooks & 175 & 60 & 75 \\Paper pads & 90 & 110 & 125\end{tabular}If a graph paper item from the order is selected at random, what is the percent probability that the item is bound as a paper pad?
Q. A college bookstore makes an order to replenish its stock of three different types of paper: college rule line paper, legal rule line paper, and graph paper. In addition, the paper is purchased bound as either spiral notebooks or paper pads.

Calculate Total Graph Items: question_prompt: What is the percent probability that a randomly selected graph paper item is bound as a paper pad?
Calculate Probability of Paper Pad: Calculate the total number of graph paper items. Add the number of graph paper spiral notebooks to the number of graph paper pads: 75 (spiral notebooks) + 125 (paper pads) = 200 graph paper items in total.
Convert Probability to Percentage: Calculate the probability that a graph paper item is a paper pad. Divide the number of graph paper pads by the total number of graph paper items: 200 (total graph paper items)125 (paper pads)=0.625.
Convert Probability to Percentage: Calculate the probability that a graph paper item is a paper pad. Divide the number of graph paper pads by the total number of graph paper items: 200 (total graph paper items)125 (paper pads)=0.625. Convert the probability to a percentage. Multiply the probability by 100 to get the percentage: 0.625×100=62.5%.
