Since the last digit is a zero, let's focus on the first two digits -- they will go from 10 through 99

First:  count how many numbers there are from 10 through 99. (Answer to part A)

For the whole number to be divisible by 4 and since the last number is a zero, it will already be divisible by 2.

The problem now becomes:  how many of the numbers from 10 through 99 are divisible by 2; or, in other words, how many of the number from 10 through 99 are even? (Answer to part B)

Divide the answer to part B by the answer to part A to get the probability ...
