Question

There are 800 students in a school and 45% of

the students are male. If 30% of the male students
and 25% of the female students play varsity sports,
how many students play varsity sports?

Answer 1

218

Explanation:

No. of male students =
`(45)/(100)` × 800

= 360

No. of male students that play varsity sports =
`(30)/(100)` × 360

= 108

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No. of female students = 800 - 360

= 440

No. of femal students who play varsity sports =
`(25)/(100)` × 440

= 110

Total no. of students who play varsity sports = 108 + 110

= 218
