65 percent of the 720 players traveled more than 200 miles
So, the number of players who traveled MORE THAN 200 miles = (0.65)(720)

If 65% of the players traveled more than 200 miles, then 35% of the players traveled less than 200 miles
So, the number of players who traveled LESS THAN 200 miles = (0.35)(720)

What is the difference between the number of participants who traveled more than 200 miles and the number of participants who traveled 200 miles or less?
Difference = (0.65)(720) - (0.35)(720)
= (0.3)(720)
= 216

Answer: B
