some ways to do this would be
using filters (clean way)
set_fact:
myvar: "{{ (ansible_os_family == 'RedHat') | ternary(100,200) }}"
or same thing via jinja conditionals
{{ 100 if ansible_os_family == 'RedHat' else 200 }}
with some 'or's
{{ 100 if ansible_os_family == 'RedHat' or ansible_user_id ==
'vagrant' else 200 }}
