Given:
The team typically has 25% of the players in the tryouts process come back for a second evaluation.
The team asked 17 players back for a second evaluation.
To find:
The players showed up for the first tryout.
Solution:
Let x be the number of players showed up for the first tryout.
According to the question,
[tex]25\%\text{ of } x=17[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{25}{100}x=17[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}x=17[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 4.
[tex]x=17\times 4[/tex]
[tex]x=68[/tex]
Therefore, 68 layers showed up for the first tryout.
