    The complete question

    In a survey, a group of students were asked their favorite sport. eighteen students chose "other" sports, while 37.5% chose football, and 40% chose baseball. how many students chose football

    Answer:

    Number of student that chose football = 30

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In a survey student were asked to choose their favorite sports.

    The number of student that chose other sport = 18

    The percentage number of students that chose football = 37.5%

    The percentage number of students that chose baseball = 40%

    The whole number of student survey = 100%

    percentage number of student that chose other sport = 100% - 37.5% - 40%

    percentage number of student that chose other sport = 22.5%

    The total number of student surveyed can be computed as

    Let the total number of student surveyed = a

    22.5/100 * a = 18

    22.5a/100 = 18

    cross multiply

    22.5a = 1800

    a = 1800/22.5

    a = 80

    The number of student that chose football can be computed since the total number of student surveyed is known

    Number of student that chose football = 37.5/100 * 80

    Number of student that chose football = 3000 / 100

    Number of student that chose football = 30
