QUESTION:
Of the cans produced by a company, 96% do not have a puncture, 93% do not have a smashed edge, and 89.3% do not have a puncture and do not have a smashed edge. Find the probability that a randomly selected can does not have a puncture or does not have a smashed edge.

Step 1 of 2:
Let us denote the events, A = no puncture
B = no smashed edge
Then no puncture and no smashed edge = A and B.
Here we need to find the probability that a randomly selected can does not have a puncture or does not have a smashed edge.
