All 500 students at Robinson Junior High were surveyed to find their favorite sport. How many more students played football than basketball?
A pie chart is titled 'Favorite Sports at Robinson Junior High.'The chart is divided into four sections.
· The first section is titled 'Football' and labeled 38 percent.
· The second section is titled 'Soccer' and labeled 10 percent.
· The third section is titled 'Basketball' and labeled 27 percent.
· The fourth section is titled 'Baseball' and labeled 25 percent.
A. 325 students
B. 135 students
C. 190 students
D. 55 students
The first step is to find the number of students who play football and basketball.
We know that 38% of 500 students play football, so:
38% of 500 = 0.38 x 500 = 190 students play football.
Similarly, we know that 27% of 500 students play basketball, so:
27% of 500 = 0.27 x 500 = 135 students play basketball.
Therefore, the difference in the number of students who play football and basketball is:
190 - 135 = 55 students.
Therefore, the answer is D. 55 students.
To find out how many more students played football than basketball, you need to calculate the number of students for each sport.
First, determine the total number of students who participated in the survey. It is given that 500 students at Robinson Junior High were surveyed.
Next, calculate the number of students who played football. It is stated that the football section of the pie chart is labeled 38 percent. Multiply this percentage by the total number of students to get the number of students who played football:
38% = 0.38
Number of football players = 0.38 * 500 = 190 students
Similarly, calculate the number of students who played basketball using the labeled percentage from the chart:
27% = 0.27
Number of basketball players = 0.27 * 500 = 135 students
Now, subtract the number of basketball players from the number of football players to find out the difference:
Number of football players - Number of basketball players = 190 students - 135 students = 55 students.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 55 students.
To answer this question, we need to use the information provided in the pie chart.
First, let's determine the number of students who play football. The chart states that the 'Football' section represents 38% of the total. To find the number of students, we can calculate:
(Number of students who play football) = 38% of (total number of students)
= 38/100 * 500
= 190 students
Next, let's find the number of students who play basketball. The 'Basketball' section represents 27% of the total. Using the same formula as before, we can calculate:
(Number of students who play basketball) = 27% of (total number of students)
= 27/100 * 500
= 135 students
Finally, to find the difference in the number of students who play football and basketball, we subtract the number of basketball players from the number of football players:
(Number of students who play football) - (Number of students who play basketball) = 190 - 135
= 55 students
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 55 students.
