    85%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Divide 100 by the maximum amount of students to get the percent value for every student (5% per student)

    2. Subtract the number of students you know plays neither sport, leaving you with 17 students.

    3. Multiply the remaining students by the percent percent value. 17 * 5 = 85%

    (This takes into account that some students are playing both sports.)
