plz help w/ "When you flip a biased coin the probability of getting a tail is 0.47."

So, I am trying to complete this seemingly easy question but it seems to be far too challenging for me... "When you flip a biased coin the probability of getting a tail is 0.47. Find the probability of getting a head."

I must apologise for this, I was in a rush of trying to get the answer so again sorry.

I have tried to times 0.47 by 2 but the answer seems to be wrong, I am stuck with the beginning so I'd like some help with that kind of problem. Thanks for letting me know about that!

What is the probability of getting any result? (Hint: Definition.)

How many results are possible? (Hint: It's a coin.)

What is the probability of getting tails? (Copy down this value.)

What then is the probability of getting not-tails? (Hint: Subtract.)

If you get stuck, please reply with your thoughts and efforts for the above steps. Thank you! ;)
