Answer:

50050050

Explanation:

There is a 50% chance for the coin to either land on heads or tales so you divide 100100100 by 2 to get 50050050 this would work with anything else say you need to figure out the chance of a coin landing on heads and the coin flips 550 times to figure out the chance you do 550 divided by 2 and you get 225. But anyways the answer is 50050050. the reason you divide by two is because the coin has 2 sides, if it were a dice, for instance, you would divide by 6 because it has 6 sides
