20%

Answer 2

The fraction
`(32)/(160)` represents the number of players that are wearing orange out of all the players in the tournament.

To find out what percent of the players are wearing orange, we can turn the fraction
`(32)/(160)` into a percent.

We can reduce the fraction
`(32)/(160)` dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 32 and 160 using 32.

32 ÷ 32 = 1

160 ÷ 32 = 5

Our reduced fraction is
`(1)/(5)`.

1 ÷ 5 = 0.2

0.2 × 100 = 20%

Therefore, 20% of the soccer players are wearing the color orange.
