Answer:

50%

Explanation:

In rhe beginning, there were 24 + 20 = 44 students trying out in total. After a week, there are 44 - 6 - 2 = 36 students remaining. Of those 36 students, 18 of them are trying out for the basketball team. The percentage of students trying out for the basketball team would be 18/36 = 0.5 = 50%
