Final answer:
By finding that 40% equates to 10 girls, we calculated that the total number of team members is 25. Hence, 25 people in total came to practice on Monday.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question is how many total people came to practice on Monday if 40% of the team are girls and 10 girls came to practice. To determine this, we need to calculate the total number of team members based on the percentage that represents the girls.
40% of the team equals 10 girls, which means that 100% of the team equals X people. To find X, we divide the number of girls by the percentage (as a decimal) they represent:
10 girls ÷ 0.40 = 25 people
Therefore, the total number of people who came to practice on Monday is 25 people.
