A local little league has a total of 60 players, of whom 20% are right-handed. How many right-handed plyers are there?

Question

There are ___ right-handed players
(type a whole number)

Answer 1

To find the number of right-handed players, we need to calculate 20% of the total number of players, which is 60.

First, we convert 20% to a decimal: 20% = 0.20

Now we multiply the total number of players by the decimal: Number of right-handed players = 0.20 * 60 = 12

Therefore, there are 12 right-handed players.
