Answer 1

Answer:

The question is incomplete, so I looked for similar ones and found:

Of the 25 girls on the Alden Middle School soccer team, 40% also play on a travel team. How many of the girls on the  middle school team also play on a travel team?

we can solve this the following way:

25 girls on the soccer team x 40% that play on a travel team = 10 girls form the soccer team that play on a travel team

we can also multiply (25 girls x 40) / 100 = 10 girls

we can check our work by:

10 girls / 40% = 25 girls in total
