Question 945058: Hello,
I am unsure of this question,
If there are a total of 750 students this year, and next year it will be 800 students, how many girls will play soccer next year if there are 90 girls participating this year.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm assuming all of the students are girls(?).
You can say that the percentage of girls playing soccer is P=90%2F750=0.12.
If we assume that the percentage stays the same, then
N=800%280.12%29=96
96 girls would be participating this year.
