All freshmen at Roseville High School are required to play exactly one sport. The table below shows all the available sports and the number of the freshmen that signed up for each one.
What percent of the freshman class signed up for either baseball or soccer? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Track Soccer Baseball Basketball Lacrosse
60 33 62 43 21
60 + 33 + 62 + 43 +21 = Total
33+62 = Ours
percent Ours= 100 (Ours/Total)
This is Physics?
Well, it seems like the freshmen at Roseville High School sure have a sporty start to their high school journey! Let's do some math and find out the percentage.
To calculate the percentage, we need to add up the number of freshmen who signed up for baseball and soccer.
Baseball: 62
Soccer: 33
Total number of freshmen who signed up for baseball or soccer: 62 + 33 = 95
Now, let's find out what percentage this is out of the total freshman class. The total number of freshmen can be found by adding up the numbers for all the sports:
Total number of freshmen = Track + Soccer + Baseball + Basketball + Lacrosse
Total number of freshmen = 60 + 33 + 62 + 43 + 21 = 219
Now that we have the total number of freshmen and the number who signed up for baseball or soccer, we can calculate the percentage:
Percentage = (Number of freshmen who signed up for baseball or soccer / Total number of freshmen) * 100
Percentage = (95 / 219) * 100
Percentage ≈ 43.4%
So, approximately 43.4% of the freshman class signed up for either baseball or soccer. Keep swinging those bats and kicking those balls, freshmen!
To calculate the percentage of the freshman class signed up for either baseball or soccer, we need to know the total number of freshmen that signed up for all sports.
Total number of freshmen signed up for all sports = 60 + 33 + 62 + 43 + 21 = 219 freshmen
Next, we need to calculate the number of freshmen signed up for baseball or soccer.
Number of freshmen signed up for baseball = 62
Number of freshmen signed up for soccer = 33
Total number of freshmen signed up for either baseball or soccer = 62 + 33 = 95 freshmen
Now, we can calculate the percentage.
Percentage = (Number of freshmen signed up for either baseball or soccer / Total number of freshmen signed up for all sports) x 100
Percentage = (95 / 219) x 100 = 43.38
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent, the percentage is 43.4%.
Therefore, approximately 43.4% of the freshman class signed up for either baseball or soccer.
To find the percentage of the freshman class that signed up for either baseball or soccer, we need to add up the number of freshmen who signed up for both sports and then divide that by the total number of freshmen.
To find the number of freshmen who signed up for both baseball and soccer, we need to find the intersection of the two sets. In this case, the intersection is the number of freshmen who signed up for soccer and baseball.
Looking at the table, we see that there are 62 freshmen who signed up for baseball and 33 freshmen who signed up for soccer. Therefore, the number of freshmen who signed up for both sports is 33.
Next, we need to add up the number of freshmen who signed up for baseball and the number of freshmen who signed up for soccer.
62 (baseball) + 33 (soccer) = 95
Now, we divide the total number of freshmen who signed up for either baseball or soccer (95) by the total number of freshmen in the class. The sum of all the numbers in the table represents the total number of freshmen in the class.
60 (track) + 33 (soccer) + 62 (baseball) + 43 (basketball) + 21 (lacrosse) = 219
Therefore, the percentage of the freshman class that signed up for either baseball or soccer is:
(95 / 219) * 100 = 43.4%
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, the answer is 43.4%.
