Answer: 0.41 or 41%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of magazines = 20

The total number of reading material available =[tex]12+20+17=49[/tex]

Now, the probability that stephen's next reading material is a magazine is given by :-

[tex]\text{P(magazine)}=\frac{\text{Number of magazines}}{\text{total reading material}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{P(magazine)}=\frac{20}{49}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{P(magazine)}=0.408163265306\approx 0.41[/tex]

In percent, [tex]0.41\times100=41\%[/tex]
