Stream of consciousness rationale: If 50% of individuals that like football play it, and there are 24 out of 60 individuals that like it, then 24 * 50% = 12 out of 60 individuals play it. If 12 individuals play it out of 60 individuals then that means only 12 / 60 = 1 / 5 or 20% play it. If 20% of individuals play football out of a group of 250 people, one would expect 250 * 20% = 50 individuals to play it.
The question and answer pair are described below.
Q: If 24 out of every 60 individuals like football and out of those that like it, 50% play it, how many people would you expect play football out of a group of 250?
A: 50
