So to find the percent do 96 divided by 800 since 96 people will be getting the part and there is 800 people trying out You should get 12 so 12 percent
4g+3(-3+4g)=1-g Distribute the 3(-3+4g) 4g-9+12g=1-g Add 4g and 12g 16g-9=1-1g Add 1g and 16g (variables always have an invisible 1 in front) 17g-9=1 Add 9 and 1 17g=10 Divide both sides by 17 and the answer is g=10/17
