Answer:
4.8%
Explanation:
From the database above, to get the percentage of high school athletes that become college athletes, we'll have to find the total sum of athletes in high school and the total sum of athletes in college and find the percentage.
Highs school
1. Football Men = 983,000
2. Basketball men = 549,500
3. Baseball men = 455,300
4. Hockey men = 29,900
5. Soccer men = 321,400
6. Basketball women = 456,900
Total number of high school athletes = 983,000 + 549,500 + 455,300 + 29,900 + 321,400 + 456,900 = 2,796,000
College athletes
1. Football men = 56,500
2. Basketball men = 15,700
3. Baseball men = 25,700
4. Hockey men = 3,700
5. Soccer men = 18,200
6. Basketball women = 14,400
Total number of college level athletes = 56,500 + 15,700 + 25,700 + 3,700 + 18,200 + 14,400 = 134,200
% of high school athletes that become college level athletes = (number of college level athletes / number of high school athletes) * 100
% = (134200 / 2,796,000) * 100
= 4.799% = 4.8%
The percentage of high school athletes that become college level athletes is approximately 4.8%
