Step-by-Step Solution

The coupons 100 to 199 make 100 equally likely outcomes. Multiples of 9 in that range are 108, 117, 126, 135, 144, 153, 162, 171, 180, 189 and 198 - eleven of them. assumes exactly one number in every nine falls in the range, which needs the count to be a multiple of 9; counts 99 or 207 by mistake; confuses this with the multiples of 10.
