Question

Of the 108 students in the school band, 48 are in the woodwind section, 24 are in the percussion section, and 36 are in the brass section. How many woodwind players, percussion players, and brass players will there be in each group ?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what this question is asking, but it sounds like it wants the percentage of each group from the total.

Percent of Woodwind: (48/108)*(100%)= 44.44%

 

Percent of Percussion: (24/108)*(100%)= 22.22%

 

Percent of Brass: (36/108)*(100%)= 33.34%
