Jonah saw a news report that stated that 72% of children in his town played a sport last year. If there are 4,000 children in his town, how many children in his town played a sport last year?(1 point)
children in his town played a sport last year.

Answer 1

To find the number of children in his town who played a sport last year, you can multiply the total number of children in the town by the percentage of children who played a sport:

4000 x 72% = <<4000*72*.01=2880>>2880

Therefore, 2880 children in his town played a sport last year.
