For a tournament 50 people are put into teams. 35 people are picked to play rugby and 15 are picked to play football. What percentage of people are chosen to play football?

1 answer

To find the percentage of people chosen to play football, first determine the total number of people chosen for teams:

35 (rugby players) + 15 (football players) = 50

Then, calculate the percentage of people chosen to play football:

(15 football players / 50 total players) * 100 = 30%

Therefore, 30% of people are chosen to play football in the tournament.
