Question

A local Little league has a total of 60 players, 80% of whom are right-handed. How many right-handed players are there?

(Please answer step by step.)

Answer 1

48 right-handed players

Explanation:

first, make an equation

`(80)/(100) =(x)/(60)`

then, cross multiply and the new equation is

`100x=4800`

finally, divide by 100 on both sides to isolate the x and you get

x=48
