There are four defenders on a soccer team. If this represents 20 percent of the players on the team, which equation can be used to find the total number of players on the team?

StartFraction 4 divided by 1 Over 20 divided by 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 4 Over 20 EndFraction

StartFraction 4 times 20 Over 100 times 20 EndFraction = StartFraction 80 Over 200 EndFraction

StartFraction 20 times 25 Over 4 times 25 EndFraction = StartFraction 500 Over 100 EndFraction

StartFraction 20 divided by 5 Over 100 divided by 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 4 Over 20 EndFraction

Answer:

  • D. (20/ 5) /(100/5) = 4 / 20

Explanation:

Four defenders on a soccer team represents 20 percent of the players on the team.

If the total number is x, it can found as:

  • 4 = 20%
  • x = 100%
  • x = 4*100/20 = 4*5 = 20

Correct choice with same outcome is D
