Hello!

To find the amount of right-handed players, we will need to multiply 95 by 40%. But, we can not multiply by a percentage. Remember that all percentages are out of 100, so, we can divide 40 by 100, and multiply that by the total number of players, which is 95.

40 / 100 = 0.4

With the percentage converted, we can multiply that by the number of players.

95 * 0.40 = 38

Therefore, there are 38 players who are right-handed.
