The numbers with a digit of 9 in the one's place are:  9, 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89, and 99.

 

The probability of getting the first number with a 9 in the one's place is 10/100.

The probability of getting the second number (without replacement) with a 9 in the one's place is 9/99.

 

To find the final probability, multiply these numbers together:  10/100 x 9/99  =  ...
