Answer:

[tex]\text{A. }39/50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a randomly selected cap will not be green is equal to the number of non-green caps divided by the total number of caps.

Since there are 100 caps total and 22 are green, there must be [tex]100-22=78[/tex] non-green caps.

Divide this by the total number of caps (100) to get the probability that a randomly selected cap will not be green:

[tex]\frac{78}{100}[/tex]

Simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2:

[tex]\frac{78}{100}=\boxed{39/50}[/tex]
