Answer:

42

Explanation:

During the season, 40% of the goals are scored the by the star player. This means that 60% of the goals are scored by everyone else.

100% - 40% = 60%

To find how many goals are scored by the rest of the team, convert the percentage to a decimal. You then have to multiply the decimal by the total goals scored.

60% = 0.6

70 × 0.6 = 42

The rest of the team scored 42 goals.
