Two events: One has a 1/35 chance of occurring and the other has a 1/100 chance. What is the combined chance?

Basically I need to know the probability of both incidents occurring.

The probablity of both events occuring, that is,
Event A *AND* Event B
is given by the product of their individual probablities:

1/35 times 1/100 equals 1/3500

Done.
