Question

    A school has 1,200 students. 60% of them are boys. If

    30% of the boys and 40% of the girls are on the sports team, how many students are not on the sports team?
    A 792 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Number of boys = 60% of 1200 = 720. Number of girls = 1200 - 720 = 480. Boys on the team = 30% of 720 = 216. Girls on the team = 40% of 480 = 192. Total on the sports team = 216 + 192 = 408. Students not on the sports team = 1200 - 408 = 792. Correct answer: A) 792
