Answer 2

30% percent of the after-school basketball players are eighth-graders.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of Seventh graders= 35

Number of eighth graders= 15

To Find:

Percentage of eight grade basketball players=?

Solution:

We Know that,

`Percentage=((given number))/((total number))*100`

So according to question, we have

Percentage of eight grade basketball players

=>
`(15)/((15+35))*100`

=>
`(15)/((50))*100`

=>
`0.3*100`

=> 30%
