Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The number of wind instrument players is245. The number of percussion members is353. The total number of members in the marching band is the sum of wind instrument players and percussion members

STEP 2

First, we need to find the total number of members in the marching band. We can do this by adding the number of wind instrument players and the number of percussion members.
$Total\, members = Wind\, instrument\, players + Percussion\, members$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of wind instrument players and percussion members to calculate the total number of members.
$Total\, members =245 +35$

STEP 4

Calculate the total number of members in the marching band.
$Total\, members =245 +35 =280$

STEP 5

Now that we have the total number of members, we can find the percentage of the marching band that is percussion. We can do this by dividing the number of percussion members by the total number of members and then multiplying by100 to convert to a percentage.
$ercussion\, percentage = (ercussion\, members / Total\, members) \\times100\%$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the number of percussion members and the total number of members to calculate the percussion percentage.
$ercussion\, percentage = (35 /280) \\times100\%$

STEP 7

Calculate the percentage of the marching band that is percussion.
$ercussion\, percentage = (35 /280) \\times100\% =12.5\%$ 12.5% of the marching band is percussion.
