The 7th grade football team had 30 players last year. This year there 20% more players on the team than the previous year. How many many football team members were there this year?

Answer: the number of team members this year is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The 7th grade football team had 30 players last year. This year, there are 20% more players on the team than the previous year. This means that the number of players in the team this this year increased by an amount. The number by which the number of players increased would

20/100 * 30 = 6.

Therefore, the number of football team members in the 7th grade football team this year would be

30 + 6 = 36

The football team would now have 36 because if you look at it like each 3 players is 10% then 20% is 6
