Answer:
Team A.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Team A had 10 of its 12 members present.
We can write this as the following fraction:
[tex]A=10/12[/tex]
We can convert this to a decimal by dividing the two numbers. Use a calculator:
[tex]A\approx.8333[/tex]
And we can convert this to a percent by moving the decimal too places to the right and by adding a percent sign:
[tex]A\approx83.33\%[/tex]
So, about 83.33% of members on Team A was present.
We know that Team B had 13 of its 15 members present.
We can write this as the following fraction:
[tex]B=13/15[/tex]
Again, we can convert this to a decimal by dividing the two numbers:
[tex]B\approx 0.8667[/tex]
Change this to a percent:
[tex]B\approx86.67\%[/tex]
So, Team A had a participation rate of 83.33% while Team B had a participation rate of 86.67%.
So, the team that had the lesser percent of the team present at the tournament is Team A.
And we're done!
