Question

You buy two tickets for a school raffle. If 358 tickets are sold, what is the probability that you will win the

raffle? Write your answer as a percent rounded to the nearest thousandth of a percent.

Answer 1

0.559%

Explanation:

The chance of winning equals the number of tickets bought divided by the total number of tickets

2 tickets are bought by the person, and 358 tickets are sold in total

2/358 would equal 0.00558659218..., and the percentage would be 0.558659...%
Rounding 0.558659 to the nearest thousandth's place would yield
0.559, so 0.559% would be the final answer
