Short answer: P(B) = 0.995
Remark
Start the problem by assuming he never eats breakfast during the work week.
Step One
.
Figure out the probability that on day one (Monday) he does not eat breakfast
1 - 65/100 is the probability that he will not eat breakfast on Monday.
P(NB) = 100/100 - 65/100 = 35/100 NB stands for no breakfast.
Step Two
Reduce 35/100
35/100 = 7/20
Step 3
For each day following the previous result is multiplied by 7/20
P(NBW) = (7/20)^5 NBW = No Breakfast all week.
P(NBW) = 0.005252
Step 4
Find the probability he will have at least one Breakfast.
P(B) = 1 - 0.005252
P(B) = 0.995 to the nearest 1000th. <<<< answer.
