Question

There are 40 children in a class. 25% like playing football. How many children like playing football?

Answer 1

Answer:

If there are 40 children in a class and 25% of them like playing football, then 10 children like playing football.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total number of children in the class = 40

Percentage of children who like football = 25%

Let N be the total number of children who like football

Percentage of children who like football = total number of children who like playing football / total number of children in class × 100

That is,

25 = $\frac{N}{40} *100$

N= $\frac{25*40}{100}\\\\=\frac{40}{4} \\\\=10$

Therefore the number of children who like playing football is 10
