Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
First, calculate the total number of boys enrolled in all sports: 6000 (total students) - 3500 (girls) = 2500 boys.
Next, find the number of boys enrolled in Soccer. Total Soccer students are 21% of 6000 = 1260. Girls in Soccer are 28% of 3500 = 980. So, Boys in Soccer = 1260 - 980 = 280.
Finally, calculate the required percentage: (280 / 2500) * 100 = 11.2%.
