Answer

a) ${\bf 7.7}\%$ b) ${\bf 25}\%$

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ A regular deck of cards with 52 cards has 4 aces, so the probability of drawing an ace is given by $$P_{\rm ace}=\dfrac{4}{52}\times 100\%=\color{red}{\bf 7.7}\%$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ A regular deck of cards with 52 cards has 13 spades, so the probability of drawing a spade is given by $$P_{\rm spade}=\dfrac{13}{52}\times 100\%=\color{red}{\bf 25}\%$$
