Question

The Strikers soccer team has 20 members, and 8 of them play offense. What percent of the team members play offense?

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

We already have our first value 20 and the second value 8. Let's assume the unknown value is Y which answer we will find out.

As we have all the required values we need, Now we can put them in a simple mathematical formula as below:

Step 1 ⇒ Y = 8/20

By multiplying both numerator and denominator by 100 we will get:

Step 2 ⇒ Y = 8/20 × 100/100 = 40/100

Step 3 ⇒ Y = 40

Finally, we have found the value of Y which is 40 and that is our answer.
