Answer:

The answer to your problem is, 110 students in total.

Explanation:

The total is 100%. Subtract the other parts of the circle to find the percent for sports.

100 - 14 -24-20 -20

22

The sports thus being 22%

Multiply the number of students by the percentage of students that prefer sports

500 x 22% of it

= 110. Which could then be used as our answer

Thus the answer to you problem is, 110 students in total.
