Step-by-step explanation

Given that 12 players chose a bottle of water which is 3/4 of the total number of players (p). The equation to determine p can be seen below

We can create the equation below;


\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)\text{ of p =12} \\ (3)/(4)* P=12 \\ Cross\text{ multiply} \\ 3p=12*4 \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 3} \\ p=(12*4)/(3) \\ p=4*4 \\ p=16 \end{gathered}

Answer: The total number of players at the baseball game is 16
