42%

Explanation:

For the Theo's clients, 40% play football. That means the 60% is playing baseball.

Of the 40% that play football, only the 30% are on the varsity team, that is:

40% * 30% = 12% of the Theo's clients are on the Varsity team of football

And of the 60% that play baseball, the 50% are in the varsity team, that is:

The percent of theo's clients on the varsity team is:
