Question

Marissa's school is hosting their annual State Championship. There are 12 basketball teams with 12 players each and 13 soccer teams with 11 players each that are participating.
Which game has more players?

• A. Basketball
• B. Both have the same number of players
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. Soccer

Answer 1

The correct option is A Basketball

Basketball:

Number of teams: 12
Number of players: 12

Thus,
$\text{Total number of players}=12\times 12=144$

Soccer:

Number of teams: 13
Number of players: 11

Thus,
$\text{Total number of players}=13\times 11=143$

Hence, the number of basketball players are more than the number of soccer players.
