    The percentage of the students playing football and baseball is equal to,

    (8 / 200) x 100% = 4%

    The probability of the students playing either football or baseball is,

    P (f or b) = P (f) + P (b) - P (f and b)

    Substituting from the known values,

    P (f or b) = 0.22 + 0.12 - 0.04 = 0.3

    Thus, the final answer is 30% which is letter D.
