Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) = probability a student buys lunch = 60% = 0.6

P(B) = probability a student buys lunch and dessert = 10% = 0.1

We are looking at the probability that a student buys lunch and dessert on the condition that they already bought lunch. Therefore, we are looking at a conditional probability.

P(B given A) = P(A and B) / P(A)

= 0.1 / 0.6

= 1/6 ≈ 0.167
