P(A n B) is given by;

p( A n B) = p(A) x p(B)

From the question

p(A) = 9/20 and p(A n B) = 9/80

substitute the values into the formula and then solve for B


(9)/(80)=\frac{9}{20\text{ }}* p(B)

Multiply both-side of the equation by 20/9 so that 9/20 on the right-hand side of the equation can cancel-out


(9)/(80)*(20)/(9)=\text{ p(B)}
(20)/(80)=\text{ p(B)}
p(B)=(1)/(4)
