The probability that the random selected student will be a 7th grader and own a cell phone will be: $$\frac{55}{300} = \frac{11}{60}$$ (A)

The question says "GIVEN that the student is in the 7th grade". That means we can ignore the rest of the chart and only look at the 7th grade row. 55/100 is 11/20, answer E.
