Answer: <em>w = 125</em>
Explanation: Since <em>w</em> is being divided by 5, to solve for <em>w</em>,
multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
On the left side, the 5's will cancel
and on the right side, 25(5) is 125.
So <em>w = 125</em>.

<u>Please do not do this problem in your head.</u>
Show the work that it takes to get <em>w</em> by itself.
Since 25% is 1/4 divide 28 by 4 to get your answer of 9.5
Standard algorithm i think
<span />
<span>There are 100 * 99 = 9900 different ways to choose two students out of 100 bandmembers. You and our brother are 2 of that ways: you being selected first and you being selected second. Therefore the probability that you two are selected is 2 / 9900 = 0,000202. You can also think as the probability of you being selected among 100 bandmembers, which is 1/100, times the probability of your brother being selected among 99 members, which is 1/99 => (1/100) * (1/99) = 1/ (100*99) = 1 / 9900; plus the same for your brother being selected first and you second => [1/9900] * 2 = 2/9900, which is the same calculated above.</span>
