Question

b 135
c 170
d 175

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

Answer 2

d 175

Explanation:

So we know that there are 21 players out of a total amount of people in a club who play basketball. So lets say the total amount of people who are in the club is x then we do

`(21)/(100) *x=21`

we got the
`(21)/(100)` becasue any percent is over 100 and that time the total ammount is 21 which is the number of people.

Then we solve and we have to isolate the x

`x=21*(100)/(12)`

then we cross cancle and we get
`x=175`

so the answer is d
