in the math lottery, only 2/25% of the tickets sold win prizes. How many prizes are awarded if 75050 tickets are sold ???

OpenStudy (mattfeury):

2 / 25 expressed as a percentage is .08 so the number awarded is 75050 * .08

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's 2/25ths of a percent though, so it's really 2 in 2500 will win.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that would be 6004 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's 1/100th of that given how it's worded.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6004 were awarded ?
