Probability question!!

A recent survey reported that 60% of the students at a high school are girls and 65% of girls at this High School play a sport. If a student at this High School were selected at random, what is the probability that the student is a girl who plays a sport?

Answer 1

Convert both perecentages to decimal form by dividing each of them by 100 to get 0.60 and 0.65. Next, multiply by 0.60 and 0.65 to get 0.39. Multiply the product by 100 to get the percentage form, 39%. So, the answer is 39%.
