Final answer:
After calculating 32% of 100 baseballs, which equals 32 baseballs, and subtracting this from the original number, we find that 68 baseballs remain in the bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to the calculation of percentages as related to a practical scenario where an umpire removes a certain amount of baseballs from a bag. Initially, there are 100 baseballs in the bag, and the umpire removes 32% of them. To determine the number of baseballs remaining, we calculate the percentage of baseballs removed and subtract that number from the original total.
Calculating the percentage removed is done by multiplying the total number of baseballs (100) by 32%. Therefore:
- Determine the number of baseballs removed: 100 baseballs * 32% = 32 baseballs.
- Subtract the number removed from the original total: 100 baseballs - 32 baseballs = 68 baseballs remaining.
After removing 32% of the baseballs, there are 68 baseballs left in the bag
