Respuesta :

what you want to know here is: what is 20 percent of 70?

you calculate it by multiplying 70 by 20 percent.

20 percent can be written as a fraction: 20 over 100:

[tex] \frac{20}{100} [/tex]

which means that the multiplication will be:

[tex]70* \frac{20}{100} [/tex]=[tex]70* \frac{2}{10} [/tex]=7*2=14

the correct answer is: there were 14 competitors in soccer among these players!
