Total number of pens = 144

Total number of defective pens = 20

\therefore Number of good pens = 144-20 = 124

She will buy if the pen is good.

Therefore, the probability that she buys = probability that the pen is good = 

P(getting\ a\ good\ pen) = \frac{number\ of\ good\ pens}{total\ pens}= \frac{124}{144}

= \frac{31}{36}
