Answer:The number of bottles of orange juice and cranberry juice in the cooler is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of fruit juice in the cooler is 30. There are different varieties of in the cooler. Some are orange juice, others are cranberry juice, and the rest are other juices.

If the probability of randomly grabbing one of the other juices is 0.6, it means that the number of other juices inside the cooler is

0.6 * 30 = 18

Since the total number of juices = orange juice + apple juice + other juices, then

The number of bottles of orange juice and cranberry juice in the cooler = 30 - 18 = 12
