Question

Steve surveyed the students in his class to find out their favorite sport. The table shows the results of the survey. What percent of Steve's classmates did not select soccer as their favorite sport?

Answer 1

Using the info you just gave,
Basketball, 8 studentsfootball, 7 studentsSoccer 12 studentsother, 13 students
We can now figure out the percentage of students that did NOT select soccer.

First, you need to add all the students together.
8 + 7 + 12 + 13
You get 40 students all together.
Now, add together the students that DID NOT choose soccer.

7 + 8 + 13 = 29
That means that 28/40 of the students did not choose soccer.
Now, convert that to a percentage.

28/40 = 0.7
To make that into a percentage, multiply by 100
Thus, the percentage of students that did not select soccer is 70%.
Hope this helped!
