Thank u so much! My older sister found a lot of help on here so i'm hoping for the same thing too! u all are great, thank u for answering, u are truly helping me!

Answer 1

The percentage that play baseball = 100 - (30 + 45) = ?%

Answer 2

@kropot72 Is it 25?

Answer 3

Good work! You are right.
You are given that 20 athletes play baseball. We now know that 25% of the total number of athletes at the school play baseball. Therefore 20 athletes are 25% of the total number of athletes. To get the total number of athletes at the school:
Divide 20 by 25 and multiply the result by 100:
\[Total\ number\ of\ athletes=\frac{20}{25}\times 100=you\ can\ calculate\]

Answer 4

@kropot72 80? :)

Answer 5

Good! There is a total of 80 athletes at the school.
Now to answer the last part you need to find 30% of 80.

Answer 6

@kropot72 How do I do that again? :)

Answer 7

\[Number\ of \ athletes\ that\ play\ football=80\times \frac{30}{100}=?\]
