Answer:
A) 32 students
B) 50%
C) He is incorrect because more males like soccer.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that the
Total number of students = 250
Total number of male = 139
Total number female =
250 - 139 = 111
Also, it is given that 36 of the 72 that like football are male
Female = 72 - 36 = 36
Total number of female = S + B + F + b
Where B = baseball
111 = 25 + B + 36 + 18
111 = 79 + B
B = 111 - 79
B = 32 students
Part B: What percentage of females like football?
%female=female/total students×100
= 36/72 × 100
= 1/2 × 100
= 50%
Part C: Joe says that the percentage of males who like soccer is the same percentage of females who like soccer. Is he correct? Explain.
The total number for baseball is
26 + 32 = 58 students
Total number of students for soccer will be
Total students = S + B + F + b
250 = S + 58 + 72 + 63
250 = S + 193
S = 250 - 193
S = 57 students
Number of Male students who like soccer = 57 - 25 = 32
Percentage of males who like soccer = male/total students × 100
= 32/57 × 100
= 56%
Percentage of males who like soccer = male/total students × 100
= 25/57 × 100
= 44%
Therefore, he is incorrect because more males like soccer.
