1/30 = 3.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 different flavors available and the favorable outcome is only strawberry flavor. There are 10 toppings and the favorable outcome is sprinkle. To calculate the probability for the two events, you just need to multiply both. The calculation will be:

P (strawberry) * P (sprinkle) = 1/3 * 1/10 = 1/30
