Make a list of the possible outcomes:
1+1,1+2,1+3.................1+9
2+1,1+2,2+3,2+4.............2+9
3+1,etc
......
......
.......
9+1,1+2,9+3,................9+9
==================================
Count the number of even results.
Divide by 100
That fraction is the probability you are looking for.
