Answer: 9.375% chance for the random student to be both and athlete and an honor student.

Explanation:

There is a 25% chance that they are an honor student and a 37.5% chance that they are an athlete so 160 * 0.375 = 60 then 60 * 0.25 = 15. So there are 15 student who are athletes and honor student so 15/160 is 0.09375 and 0.09375 * 100 equals 9.375% to be both
