Problema Solution

Kane bought a bag of taffy at the candy store. He got 10 vanilla for his mom, 15 chocolate for his dad, 6 licorice for his sister, and 22 peppermint for himself. On the way home, Kane's sister grabbed a piece out of the sack without looking. What are the chances that she pulled out a licorice piece?
