To find out how many students played football, we need to calculate 38% of 500 students:
38/100 x 500 = 190 students played football
To find out how many students played basketball, we need to calculate 27% of 500 students:
27/100 x 500 = 135 students played basketball
Therefore, the difference between the number of students playing football and basketball is:
190 - 135 = 55 students
So the correct answer is: 55 students.
