Seems as if that one was too difficult for everyone...

ANSWER: DEER FRISK, SIR, FREED.


Our local high school is fairly sports-minded. Half the students play soccer, 20% play basketball. There are 99 taking sports, 24 taking both.

What is the total enrollment of the school?

Is it 107?

Nope, a bit more than that, bit being a relative term... :p
If 70% - 24 (don't want to add them twice) = 99, then 70% = 123

123 is 70% of 175.7....

:dazed:

I made up my own "Half the students play soccer, 20% play basketball. There are 65 taking sports, 5 taking both"
If 70% - 5 = 65 then 70% = 70, 70 is 70% of 100, and there are 100 in my school....(50 play footy, 20 basketball) ...I think...
Sadly not the answer Smile

Still don't look right to me....

175 in schooll means 87.5 footy, 35 basketball, total 98.5 play sport
(87.5 + 35 - 24)

176 in school means 89 footy, 35.6 basketball, total 100.6 play sport
(89 + 35.6 - 24)

So I stand by my answer of 175.7 and a bit......
:cheeky:
Sorry no bits in this school and you need to think a bit larger if I remember correctly Smile
