what you want to know here is: what is 20 percent of 70?
you calculate it by multiplying 70 by 20 percent.
20 percent can be written as a fraction: 20 over 100:
\(\frac{20}{100}\)
which means that the multiplication will be:
\(70* \frac{20}{100}\)=\(70* \frac{2}{10}\)=7*2=14
the correct answer is: there were 14 competitors in soccer among these players!
