there were 18 boys and 12 girls playing dodge ball what percent of the players playing dodge ball were girls

Answer: Answer is 40%

Step-by-step explanation: The total number of players in the game is 30 (that is boys and girls added together becomes 18 + 12 = 30) altogether which is a hundred percent. The percentage of girls playing the game is calculated as;

12/30 * 100%

=2/5 * 100%

=200/5

=40%
