Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
First, calculate the total number of students enrolled in Soccer and Tennis. Soccer has 21% of 6000 = 1260 students. Tennis has 20% of 6000 = 1200 students.
Next, find the number of girls in each game. Soccer has 28% of 3500 = 980 girls. Tennis has 22% of 3500 = 770 girls.
Now, calculate the number of boys by subtracting girls from the total students for each game. Boys in Soccer = 1260 - 980 = 280. Boys in Tennis = 1200 - 770 = 430.
Finally, add the boys from both games: 280 + 430 = 710.
