Question

A game-show spinner has these odds of stopping on particular dollar values: 40% for $5, 25% for $100, 20% for $500, and 15% for $1000. What are the odds of a player winning $5 or $100?

Answer 1

13÷ 23

Explanation:

The computation of the odds of player winning is shown below;

For $5 it is 40%

And, for $100 it is 25%

so for total it is

= 40% + 25%

= 65%

And, the total percentage is 100%

So, the odds in favor is

65:100

13:20

Now for winning it would be 13÷ 23
