Answer:

12

Explanation:

You must first divide 50 by 100 to get what 1% of 50 would be (0.5). You can then take 0.5 and multiply it by 24 and you will get 12.

Answer:

4 Juniors play the trumpet

Explanation:

Given the following information:

percent of the band members that are Juniors: 24%

In 50 members of the band, 50*24/100 = 12 are Juniors. One third of them play the trumpet, that makes 12*(1/3) = 4 members.
