The number of students who like to play tennis in Class A is what percent less than those who like to play handball in Class E?
A40
B50
C53.33 ✓ Correct
D56.67
Correct answer: (C) 53.33
Explanation
The answer is about 53.33 percent.
Tennis players in Class A are 70 percent of 240, which is 168.
Handball players in Class E are 75 percent of 480, which is 360.
The shortfall is 360 minus 168, which is 192.
As a percent of 360, this is 192 divided by 360, times 100.
That is about 53.33 percent.
So the answer is about 53.33 percent.
