Question

a local little league has a total of 80 players, of whom 20% are left - handed. how many left - handed players are there? there are \square left - handed players.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find 20% of 80, we first convert 20% to a decimal. 20% is equivalent to $0.2$ (since $20\%=\frac{20}{100} = 0.2$).

Step2: Multiply by total number of players

Now we multiply this decimal by the total number of players (80). So we calculate $80\times0.2$.
$80\times0.2 = 16$

Answer:

16
