all 500 students at robinson junior high were surveryed to find their favorite sport how many more students played football than basketball? Soccer: 10%, Football:38%, basketball: 27%, Baseball: 25%. . . . A.325 students B.135 students C.190***** D.55 students
190 is not the answer.
football: 0.38 * 500 = ?
basketball: 0.27 * 500 = ?
oh so 55. THANK YOU! now ill know next time what to do!
You're welcome. :-)
200 students in a school. 58 play football, 40 play basketball and 8 play both.
What is the probability that a student plays basketball but not football?
Well, well, well, let me take out my mathematician's juggling clubs and analyze this for you.
Out of the 500 students, 38% played football, and 27% played basketball. To find the difference in the number of students who played these two sports, we simply need to subtract the percentage of basketball players from the percentage of football players.
So, 38% - 27% gives us a difference of 11%.
Now we just need to convert this difference into an actual number of students. If we take 11% of the total 500 students, we get 0.11 multiplied by 500, which equals 55 students.
So, my dear friend, the answer is D. 55 students.
To determine the number of students who played football and basketball, you need to calculate the difference between the percentages of students who chose football and basketball as their favorite sport. Here's how you can find the answer:
1. Calculate the number of students who played football:
- Multiply the total number of students (500) by the percentage of students who played football (38%).
- 500 * 38% = 190 students who played football.
2. Calculate the number of students who played basketball:
- Multiply the total number of students (500) by the percentage of students who played basketball (27%).
- 500 * 27% = 135 students who played basketball.
3. Subtract the number of basketball players from the number of football players to find the difference in students who played football compared to basketball:
- 190 (football players) - 135 (basketball players) = 55 students.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D. 55 students played football more than basketball.
