Question

All 500 students at Robinson Junior High were surveyed to find their favorite sport. How many more students played football than basketball?

The chart is divided into four sections.
· The first section is titled 'Football' and labeled 38 percent.
· The second section is titled 'Soccer' and labeled 10 percent.
· The third section is titled 'Basketball' and labeled 27 percent.
· The fourth section is titled 'Baseball' and labeled 25 percent.

• 325 students
• 135 students
• 190 students
• 55 students

Answer 1

To find out how many students played football, we need to calculate 38% of 500 students:

38/100 x 500 = 190 students played football

To find out how many students played basketball, we need to calculate 27% of 500 students:

27/100 x 500 = 135 students played basketball

Therefore, the difference between the number of students playing football and basketball is:

190 - 135 = 55 students

So the correct answer is: 55 students.
