two 100 multiples of 7 are chosen at random , and 300 multiples of 8 are chosen at random . approximately what percentage of the 500 selected numbers are odd ?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 20 %	B) 25 %	C) 40 %	D) 50 %	E) 80 %

Rationale: two hundred multiples of seven will have 100 even and 100 odd numbers 300 multiples of eight will have all even ( being multiple of 8 ) probability of number selected being odd = total odd numbers / total available numbers probability = 100 / 500 = 0.2 = 20 % answer : option a
Answer: A
