Answer 2

There are 480 tickets that he has bought.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that of his winning the first prize in a lottery = 0.08

Number of tickets sold = 6000

So, it becomes,

Probability of winning the first prize  $=\dfrac{x}{6000}$

$0.08=\dfrac{x}{6000}\\\\0.08\times 6000=x\\\\480=x$

Hence, there are 480 tickets that he has bought.
