330
33
165
166

Firstly, before even diving into the math of this equation there are only 40 men on the team, so any answer bigger than 40 is automatically incorrect. That leaves 33...

So for the math part you multiply 40 by the decimal of 82.5% (move the decimal two spots to the left) which is .825.... 40 x .825 = 33.
