Question

In March of 2017, 12 of the top 100 women's tennis players

Answer 1

Answer:

The percent of the tennis players NOT from the United States is:

88%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:"

Number of top 100 women's tennis players in the world = 100

The number of this from the United States = 12

This represents 12% (12/100) of the population of top tennis players in the world.

Therefore, the number of top tennis players in the world that is not from the United States = 88 (100 - 12)

This number represents 88% (88/100) of the population of top tennis players in the world.

b) The question requires the expression of the numbers into two groups: those from the United States (12) and the remaining 88 (100 - 12) NOT from the United States.  Once this is done, the resulting figures are expressed as percentages of the total, and the rest is the required answer.
