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!
