SOLUTION

Raffle tickets numbered consecutively from 101 through 350 are placed in a box. What is the probability that a ticket selected at random will have a number with a hundreds digit of 2 ?

(A) 2/5
(B) 2/7
(C) 33/83
(D) 99/250
(E) 100/249

The number of integers from 101 to 350, inclusive is 250, out of which 100 (from 200 to 299) will have a hundreds digit of 2. Thus the probability is 100/250=2/5.

Answer: A.

numbers with hundreds digit 2 are 200-299
100 such numbers

total numbers are 101-350
250 such numbers

probability would be \frac{100}{250}
\frac{2}{5}
