Students apply fractional and percentage chances to real numbers such as theater popcorn purchases, cereal toy boxes, spinner landings, bakery muffin sales, museum exhibit visits, and email open rates. Additional problems use cards, rain forecasts, basketball free throws, raffle winners, and coin flips to practice converting probabilities into approximate counts.
