The correct answer is

157%

Analyzing Player Participation Data by Country and Game

The question asks us to find the number of players participating in Badminton from all six countries as a percentage of the total number of players participating in all games from Australia. We need to use the data provided in the table to calculate these values.

Country Football Cricket Badminton
India 65 55 45
UK 70 75 40
Australia 90 85 95
Canada 85 80 85
Spain 80 70 95
USA 55 60 65

Calculating Total Badminton Players Across Countries

First, let's find the total number of players participating in Badminton from all six countries. We sum the values in the 'Badminton' column:

  • India: 45
  • UK: 40
  • Australia: 95
  • Canada: 85
  • Spain: 95
  • USA: 65

Total Badminton Players = \$\$45 + 40 + 95 + 85 + 95 + 65 = 425\$\$ players.

Calculating Total Players from Australia

Next, let's find the total number of players participating in all games from Australia. We sum the values in the 'Australia' row:

  • Football: 90
  • Cricket: 85
  • Badminton: 95

Total Players from Australia = \$\$90 + 85 + 95 = 270\$\$ players.

Calculating the Percentage

Now, we need to find what percentage the total Badminton players (from all countries) is of the total players from Australia. The formula for percentage is:

\$\$ \text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \times 100\$\$

In this case:

  • Part = Total Badminton Players (All Countries) = 425
  • Whole = Total Players from Australia = 270

Percentage = \$\$ \frac{425}{270} \times 100\$\$

Let's calculate the value:

\$\$ \frac{425}{270} \approx 1.57407\$\$

Percentage \$\$ \approx 1.57407 \times 100 \approx 157.407\$\$

Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives 157%.

Final Answer Summary

The number of players participating in Badminton from all six countries is 425. The total number of players participating in all games from Australia is 270. The number of Badminton players from all countries is approximately 157% of the total players from Australia.

Additional Information: Understanding Percentage Calculations

Percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted by the symbol "%". To calculate a percentage, you divide the value representing the 'part' by the value representing the 'whole' and then multiply the result by 100.

For example, if you score 80 marks out of a maximum of 100, your percentage score is \$\$ \frac{80}{100} \times 100 = 80\$\$. If you score 80 marks out of a maximum of 200, your percentage score is \$\$ \frac{80}{200} \times 100 = 40\$\$. In this problem, the 'part' is the total count of players in one specific category (Badminton across all countries), and the 'whole' is the total count of players from a specific country (Australia across all games).
