44% chance of selecting an apple

Explanation:

In the pantry, there are:

4 apples and 5 bananas, adding up to a total of 9 fruit. This can be expressed as 4 + 5 = 9.

You want to find out the probability of choosing an apple. There are 4 apples out of the 9 fruit total. This can be expressed as: 4/9

#4/9# = 0.44444444444

There's a 44% percent chance he'll pick an apple.
