Answer 1

Step 1: Find the number of baseball players

`\huge{ \blue{ (4)/(3) = (20)/(n) }}`

`\bold{ = (3 * 20)/(4n) }`

`= (60)/(4)`

`\huge{ \bold{ \gray{ \boxed{ = \boxed{15}}}}}`

Step 2: Add the number of basketball players and the number of baseball players

`\huge{ \orange{20 + 15}}`

`\huge{ \bold{ \red{ \boxed{ = \boxed{35}}}}}`

Answer:

`\huge{ \bold{ \green{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \underline{c. \: 35}}}}}}`
