​A wallet containing 5 five‑dollar bills, 7 ten‑dollar bills, and 8 twenty‑dollar bills is found and returned to its owner. The wallet’s owner will reward the finder with 1 bill drawn randomly from the wallet. What is the probability that the bill drawn will be a twenty-dollar bill?

# of successes

# of possibilities

8 twenties
------------- = probability of drawing a twenty
20 total bills

Probability could be thought of as  0.4 or 40%.
