Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
