well its simply 

P(event) = number of favourable outcomes
                ------------------------------
                   total number of outcomes

well you get that value multiply it by 100 to get the percentage... 

and as a hint... the probability of any event can't be greater than 1 or 100%

which may help to eliminate a couple of choices
