Answer 1

168 members are on the marching band but not part of the percussion.

Explanation:

Given:

The high school marching band has 196 members,and 28 of them are a part of the percussion.

Now, to find the members on the marching band but not part of the percussion.

Total members of marching band = 196.

Members of them who part of percussion = 28.

So, to get the members of the marching band who are not the part of the percussion we subtract members of them who part of percussion from total members of marching band:

`196-28`

`=168.`

Therefore, 168 members are on the marching band but not part of the percussion.
