The student population of a school consists of 300 girls and 500 boys. if 53% of girls play a sport, and 39% of the boys play a sport, who plays more sports

The information's given in this problem needs to be carefully read before starting the problem.
Number of girls in the school = 300
Percentage of girls playing a sport in the school = 53%
Number of girls playing a spot in the school = (53/100) * 300
                                                                      = 53 * 3
                                                                     = 159
So 159 girls in the school play a sport.
Number of boys in the school = 500
Percentage of boys playing a sport in the school = 39%
Number of boys playing a sport in the school = (39/100) * 500
                                                                         = 39 * 5
                                                                         = 195
So 195 boys in the school play a sport
Now it can be conclusively said that the number of boys playing a sport is more than the number of girls playing a sport in the school.

Multiply (girls) 0.53 * 300= 159
Multiply (boys) 0.39 * 500=195
The boys play the most sports.
