A soccer league has 180 players. Of those players 40% are boys. How many boys are in the soccer league?
You could solve this two ways.
1.) .40 * 180
2.) Create a proportion - 40/100 * x/180
The answer would result in 72 boys in the soccer leauge.
Yeah i got the same because 180(.4)=72 so there would be 72 boys out of 180 on the soccer team
