Fifty raffle tickets are numbered 1 through 50, and one of them is drawn at random. What is the probability that the number is a multiple of 5 or 7? Consider the following "solution": Since 10 tickets bear numbers that are multiples of 5 and 7 tickets bear numbers that are multiples of 7, we concluded the required probability is as follows. 10 50 +  7 50 =  17 50 Is this the correct answer? (If so, enter yes. If not, enter the correct answer.)
