Question

There are 75 students at tryouts for the basketball team. Of this number, about 65% are in the seventh grade. About how many seventh-grade students are trying out for the team?

Answer 1

49 seventh grade students are trying out for the team.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total students at tryouts = 75

Percent of seventh grade students = 65%

Number of seventh grade students = $\frac{65}{100}*75$

Number of seventh grade students = 0.65*75

Number of seventh grade students = 48.75

Rounding off to near whole number

Number of seventh grade students = 49

49 seventh grade students are trying out for the team.
