A local little league has a total of 65 ​players, of whom 20​% are right​-handed. How many right​-handed players are​ there?

Question

There are __right​-handed players.
(type a whole number)

Answer 1

To find the number of right-handed players, we can calculate 20% of the total 65 players.

First, we convert the percentage to a decimal:

20% = 0.20

Now we multiply this by the total number of players:

Number of right-handed players = 0.20 × 65 = 13

Therefore, there are 13 right-handed players.
