Determine, to the nearest percent, the percentage

Answer 1

Answer: 34%

Explanation:

Let us assume that the table shown looks like the one I put together below. If your table does not look like this table, please note that this answer may be incorrect and comment what about the table is different.

To find the percentage of the girls who voted for Splashdown, we will divide the numbers of girls who voted for Splashdown by the total number of girls, and multiply it by 100. Then, we will round to the nearest percent as asked.

`\displaystyle (46)/(53+46+37) *100=(46)/(136) *100= 0.338235 * 100 = 33.8235 \approx 34\%`
