Answer:
40 more kids chose baseball over basketball.
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to go about this is to use benchmark percentages.
For baseball, 25% of 800 people chose that, so we can do 800/4 to get 200, so 200 students chose baseball
For basketball, we could do 800/5 but that isn't mental math, so we can do 10% of 800 is 80 and 80*2=160. So 40 more kids chose baseball over basketball.
Is that all the question says can you give it into more details
So I can help you out
<span>a/b = 3/5 ----- a = (3b)/5
a + b = 136 --- (3b)/5 + b = 136
3b + 5b = 680
8b = 680
b = 85
a = (3b)/5 = (3 * 85)/5 = 51
a = 85 and b = 51</span>
