Question

A store is randomly giving away gift cards to the first 150 customers. They are giving 130 gift cards that have a value of $5 each and 15 gift cards that have a value of $50 each. The rest of the gift cards have a value of $100 each. Which is the probability that a customer will get a $100 gift card?

Answer 1

1/30

Explanation:

The total number of cards is 150. Subtract the numbers of the other values, 130 and 15 to get the number of $100 cards.

150 -145 = 5

5/150 is the number out of the total.

Simplify to get the probability: 1/30
