Question

e) In the same meet, 15% of the team from Delaware County competed in tennis. if there were 20 members on the team, how many competed in tennis?

Answer 1

Total 3 members competed in the tennis out to total 20 members.

Explanation:

Total number of members in the team = 20

The percentage of people who competed in the tennis = 15%

Now, 15 % of 20 =
`(15)/(100)  * 20`

⇒
`(15)/(100)  * 20   = 3`

So, 15% of 20 = 3

Hence, total 3 members competed in the tennis out to total 20 members.
