I have a geometric probability question.

Suppose some children are playing a bean bag toss game throwing a bean bag at a 42 in. by 42 in. square target with 20
square holes that each have 3 in. sides. The player wins if the bean bag passes through one of the holes.
Assuming the it lands somewhere on the square target, what is the probability that a child throwing the bean bag
randomly at the target will win the game?
