All 500 students at Robinson Junior High were surveyed to find their favorite sport. How many more students played baseball than soccer?
A pie chart is titled • The piece titled "Football" is at 38%
• The piece titled "Soccer" is at 10%

• The piece titled "Baseball" is at 25%

D. 125 students
3 / 5
To solve the problem, we need to find out how many students chose baseball and soccer as their favorite sport, respectively, and then subtract the number of soccer players from the number of baseball players.
According to the pie chart, 25% of the 500 students chose baseball as their favorite sport.
25% of 500 = 0.25 x 500 = 125
Therefore, there were 125 students who chose baseball as their favorite sport.
Similarly, 10% of the 500 students chose soccer as their favorite sport.
10% of 500 = 0.1 x 500 = 50
Therefore, there were 50 students who chose soccer as their favorite sport.
To find out how many more students played baseball than soccer, we subtract 50 from 125:
125 - 50 = 75
Therefore, the answer is C. 75 students.
