Jonah saw a news report that stated that 72% of children in his town played a sport last year. If there are 4,000 children in his town, how many children in his town played a sport last year?(1 point)
blank children in his town played a sport last year.
To find out how many children in his town played a sport last year, Jonah needs to calculate 72% of 4,000, since 72% represents the proportion of children who played a sport.
To do this, multiply 72% by 4,000:
(72/100) x 4,000 = 2,880
Therefore, 2,880 children in his town played a sport last year.
