Answer 1

The percent of students who play the trumpet is 36%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of students who play the trumpet, divide the number of students who play the trumpet by the total number of students who play a brass instrument and then multiply by 100.

In this case, there are 18 students who play the trumpet out of 50 students who play a brass instrument. So the percent of students who play the trumpet is:

(18 / 50) * 100 = 36%
