Question

A local little league has a total of

70
​players, of whom
40​%
are
right​-handed.
How many right handed players are​ there?

Answer 1

in order to find out, we need to know how much is 40% of 70:

40 % is
`(40)/(100) = (4)/(10)`

and we multiply this by 70:


`(4)/(10)*70=(4)/(1)*7 =28`

so the answer is 28 right handed players!
