50 because 50/100=2/4 and 2/4 is blue on the circle
First, how much did you spend on the 8 gumdrops at 2 cents a piece?
8 gumdrops at 2 cents a piece is 16 cents
8 gumdrops x 2 cents = 16 cents
So, if you have 16 cents to spend on gumdrops and they are 8 cents a piece, how many can you buy?
16 / 8 = 2
You can buy 2 gumdrops for the same amount of money.
5/6, its 10/12, so just divide by two to simplify.
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! :)
