First, we need to add up all the percentages to make sure we have 100%.
25.5% + 0.03% = 25.53%
This means that 74.47% of the students chose something other than basketball or soccer.
The amount of students you stated there were was 2553.
25.5% of 2553 is 651 students and
0.03% is 8 students.
Now, we divide 651 by 8 to determine the amount of times over basketball was chosen.
651 ÷ 8 = 81
Basketball was chosen 81 times over again compared to soccer.
To find how much more times basketball was chosen, subtract 8 from 651
651 - 8 = 643
Basketball was chosen 643 times more than soccer.
