Baseball bats: Of the state's 40 leagues, 62.5% have decided to use wood baseball bats during the regular season.
How many have decided to stay with aluminum bats?

The problem doesn't give me any other information and I am stumped on how to figure this, any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

If 62.5% used wood, then 37.5% used aluminum (62.5% + 37.5% = 100%)

So aluminum = .375 * 40 = ? ; kapish?

Well, we've all done that 8-)

Trick: when solving a problem, act "lazy" and look for a short-cut :idea:
