One thing to note in problems dealing with probability is to find the context clues. If the word 'or' is mentioned, you'll have to add up the probabilities. If the word 'and' is mentioned, you multiply their probabilities. Since the problem here says either the orl ampa skydome or the bithlo megaplex, then,

Probability = 120/200 + 100/200 = 11/10
