John and Ted have a reputation for being late to events. If John is late 20% of the time, and Ted is late 40% of the time, what is the probability that both John and Ted will be on time? Show your work or explain how you got your answer.
+773 John's probability to be on time: 100% - 20% = 80% or 0.8.
Ted's probability to be on time: 100% - 40% = 60% or 0.6.
To find the probability that both will be on time, we multiply the two probabilities. \(0.8\cdot0.6 = 0.48\). The answer is \(\boxed{48}\)%.
