Question

A local little league has a total of 85 players,of whom 80% are left-handed.how many left-handed players are there

Answer 1

The information’s already provided in the question should never be neglected. They are actually the required information’s to reach the correct answer.
Total number of players in the little league = 85
Percentage of players that are left handed = 80%
Number of players that are left handed = (80/100) * 85
                                                               = (8/10) * 85
                                                               = 680/10
                                                               = 68
So among the total of 85 players in the little league, there are 68 left handed players. I hope that the answer and the technique has helped you.

Answer 2

♥ To solve we need to find 80% of 85 players
or 80% of 85
80/100 * 85
8/10 * 85
We get
68.
Therefore 38 out of 85 people are left handed.
