A. we want to pull 15 or less from the bag and there are 100 possibilities
[tex] \frac{15}{100} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{3}{20} [/tex]
the probability is 3 out of 20

B. we are trying to pull a 55,60,65,75,80,85,90,95,or 100 that is 9 possibilities out of 100

[tex] \frac{9}{100} [/tex]  is the possibility of pulling a multiple of 5 that is blue
