100/1200= x/100
cross multiply

(1200 * x)= (100 * 100)

1200x= 10000
divide both sides by 1200

x= 8.333% winning chance

LOSING CHANCE
100% - 8.333%= 91.667%

RATIO OF WINNING TO LOSING
100 tickets= winning chance
1200 total - 100= 1100 losing chance

100:1100
simplify by 100

1:11 odds of winning to losing

ANSWER: The chance of winning is 8.333% and the chance of losing is 91.667% or 1:11.

Hope this helps! :)

24 points!! What is the measure of angle B in the triangle?

mestny [16]

Sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180
so, 120 + x + x+16 = 180
136 + 2x = 180
2x = 180 - 136
x = 44/2
x = 22

Now, Angle B = x = 22

In short, Your Answer would be 22

Hope this helps!
