Question

You want to join an elite soccer team. You must attend a minimum of 85% of the pre-season practices to play with the team this season. You have attended 37 of the 42 practices. Will you be able to join the team? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

You will be able to join the team this season.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether you will be able to join the elite soccer team, we need to calculate the percentage of practices you have attended. The total number of pre-season practices is 42, and you have attended 37 of them.

To calculate the percentage, we divide the number of practices attended by the total number of practices and multiply by 100: (37 / 42) * 100 = 88.1%.

Since you have attended 88.1% of the practices, which is greater than the minimum requirement of 85%, you will be able to join the team this season.
