To find the total number of players on the softball team, we'll use the information that the pitchers make up 20% of the team.

First, let's set up an equation to represent this relationship. Let "T" represent the total number of players on the team:

3 (number of pitchers) = 0.2 (20%) × T

To solve for T, we need to isolate it. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.2:

T = 3 / 0.2

T = 15

So, there are a total of 15 players on the softball team.
