Answer 2

30% percent of the after-school basketball players are eighth-graders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of Seventh graders= 35

Number of eighth graders= 15

To Find:

Percentage of  eight grade basketball players=?

Solution:

We Know that,

$Percentage=\frac{(given number)}{(total number)}\times100$

So according to question,  we have  

Percentage of  eight grade basketball players  

=> $\frac{15}{(15+35)}\times100$

=> $\frac{15}{(50)}\times100$

=> $0.3\times100$

=> 30%
