To find the number of left-handed players in the little league, you can use the following calculation:

  1. Determine the percentage of left-handed players: 35% of 40 players.
  2. Calculate 35% of 40:

\[ \text{Number of left-handed players} = 0.35 \times 40 = 14 \]

So, there are 14 left-handed players.
