Question

In a recent survey of 80 athletes, 12 students play volleyball, 15 play basketball, 7 play soccer and the remaining athletes play football. What percentage of the students surveyed play football?

Answer 1

46 students play football but you have to make it into a percentage so it’ll just be 80/46 which is 0.575 so just multiply by 100 then you get 57.5%

Answer 2

57.5%

Explanation:

There are 80 athletes. You will first have to subtract 12, 15, 7 from 80 as those athletes play other sports other than football. You are then left with 46. Then you will set 46 over 80 and you get .575 which counts up to 57.5% athletes that play football.

Hope this helps.
