    149 : 1 is the odds against your winning the boat.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It is given that,

    The winner of a raffle will receive a 21-foot outboard boat.

    Total raffle tickets were sold = 3000 tickets Number of tickets you purchased = 20 tickets

    The odds against any event is the ratio of the unfavorable outcomes to the favorable outcomes.

    The number of possible outcome that you will win ⇒ 20

    The number of possible outcomes that others wins ⇒ 3000-20 = 2980

    To find the odds against your winning the boat:

    Number of possible outcomes that one of the others wins : Number of possible outcome that you will win.

    ⇒ 2980 : 20

    ⇒ 149 : 1

    Therefore, the odds against your winning the boat is 149 : 1
