♥ To solve we need to find 80% of 85 players
or 80% of 85
80/100 * 85
8/10 * 85
We get
68.
Therefore 38 out of 85 people are left handed.

The information’s already provided in the question should never be neglected. They are actually the required information’s to reach the correct answer.
Total number of players in the little league = 85
Percentage of players that are left handed = 80%
Number of players that are left handed = (80/100) * 85
= (8/10) * 85
= 680/10
= 68
So among the total of 85 players in the little league, there are 68 left handed players. I hope that the answer and the technique has helped you.
