Question

A sports club has 21 basketball players. If 12% of the total number of members in the club are basketball players, what is the total number of members in the club? (1 point)
a 120
b 135
c 170
d 175

Answer 1

Answer:

d 175

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that there are 21 players out of a total amount of people in a club who play basketball. So lets say the total amount of people who are in the club is x then we do

$\frac{21}{100} *x=21$

we got the $\frac{21}{100}$ becasue any percent is over 100 and that time the total ammount is 21 which is the number of people.

Then we solve and we have to isolate the x

$x=21*\frac{100}{12}$

then we cross cancle and we get $x=175$

so the answer is d
