Question

The school band is selling tickets for a chance to win an Ipad. Lucy bought 20 out of the 200 tickets sold. What percent chance does Lucy have of winning the Ipad?

Answer 1

Lucy has a 10% chance of winning the Ipad.

Explanation:

divide 20 by 200: 20/200= 0.1

now to find the percent multiply the decimal by 100

0.1 * 100= 10

She has a 10% chance of winning the Ipad

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

She has a 10% chance.

Explanation:

To make this easier on our selves let's divide each by 2.

That makes Lucy hold 10 tickets for the 100 tickets available.

10/100 = 10%

Any numerator that is over 100 is the percentage

Say if I had 52/100 I would have 52%
