Answer:
First let us determine the problem:
If we have 27 males and 9 females then the sum of male and female is 36 (from 27+9).
Then, if we want to find the percentage of male or female we have to divide both by total number of population multiply to 100. That is,
For male: 27/36 = 0.75*100= 75
For female: 9/36=0.25*100=25
check that the total percentage of male and female is 100.
Thus, the percent of the team that are male is 75%.
