Question

In a special olymics,a team of 70 players was sent.Twenty percent competed in soccer.How many competed in soccer?

Answer 1

what you want to know here is: what is 20 percent of 70?

you calculate it by multiplying 70 by 20 percent.

20 percent can be written as a fraction: 20 over 100:


`(20)/(100)`

which means that the multiplication will be:


`70* (20)/(100)`=
`70* (2)/(10)`=7*2=14

the correct answer is: there were 14 competitors in soccer among these players!
