Answer:

a)14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Fifty-five percent of junior varsity swim team members wear glasses.

Thus, 45% of the junior varsity swim team does not wear glasses.

Among those who do not wear glasses, 30% are in the 10th grade.

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected member of the JV swim team does not wear glasses and is a 10th grader is:

$\frac{30}{100}\times45$

= 13.5% rounded up to 14%.
