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.

ANSWER:

 

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.
