Question

A jar contains 100 tickets for a drawing. Among those tickets are 7 winning tickets. What are the odds in favor of winning?

Answer 1

7/100 or 0.07% chance

Answer 2

Answer:

7:43

Step by Step:

50 - 7 = 43

You take out those seven tickets from the fifty, because if not,  there would be 57 tickets total.  This leaves 7:43.  The seven is first because the odds are in the "winning tickets" favor.
