Answer:

Melissa has a student dictionary on her desk. Her dictionary contains 99 pages. In this dictionary, more words start with the letter "S" than any other letter, occupying 11 full pages.

If she opens up the dictionary at random, what is the probability that the page contains words starting with "S"?
