When you roll two numbers you have four kinds of outcomes: EE, EO, OE, OO (where E = even, O = odd).

You get an even sum only if you sum two numbers that are both even or both odd, therefore the outcomes wanted are two: EE and OO.

Therefore:
P(sum is even) = 2 / 4 = 0.5

Hence, there is a 50% probability that, when you roll two numbers, their sum will be even.

If 120% is £48, what is 100%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we go by 20's (20% of 100) 100% is 5. Since were dealing with 120% in our case we'll be dividing by 6 to figure out what every 20% is. All we need to do it's divide 48 by 6 and we get the answer 8. So in our case every 20% is equal to 8. now to solve for 100% all we need to do is subtract 8 (20%) from 120% (48) and we find 100% is 40. We could also do 8 x 5. (remember every 1 is 20% in our case) which is also 40. Therefore, your answer is 40.
