it is .277
because there are 26 letters in the alphabet, and 10 numbers given (0-9)
add both amount of characters: 26+10=36
then put a number of numbers over the total amount of characters: 10/36
now divide 10 by 36
and you will get .277777, but since you said by the nearest hundredth, estimate and get
=.277
