Answer 1

Answer:

Using the info you just gave,

Basketball, 8 studentsfootball, 7 studentsSoccer 12 studentsother, 13 students

We can now figure out the percentage of students that did NOT select soccer.

First, you need to add all the students together.

8 + 7 + 12 + 13

You get 40 students all together.

Now, add together the students that DID NOT choose soccer.

7 + 8 + 13 = 29

That means that 28/40 of the students did not choose soccer.

Now, convert that to a percentage.

28/40 = 0.7

To make that into a percentage, multiply by 100

Thus, the percentage of students that did not select soccer is 70%.

Hope this helped!
