    P (Strawberry) = 26% = 0.26

    P (Whipped) = x

    P (Strawberry and Whipped) = P (Strawberry). P (Whipped) = 18% = 0.18

    ∴ P (Whipped) = P (Strawberry and Whipped) / P (Strawberry) = 0.18/0.26 = 0.6923 = 69.23%

    To nearest tenth,

    P (whipped topping) = 69.2%

    ∴ Probability that a randomly selected desert contains whipped topping is 69.2%.
