Question

A local Little league has a total of 60 players, 80% of whom are right-handed. How many right-handed players are there?
(Please answer step by step.)

Answer 1

Answer:

48 right-handed players

Step-by-step explanation:

first, make an equation

$\frac{80}{100} =\frac{x}{60}$

then, cross multiply and the new equation is

$100x=4800$

finally, divide by 100 on both sides to isolate the x and you get

x=48
