Answer 1

To find the percent of seniors who want to attend a festival given that they want to stay in state, divide the number of seniors who want to attend a festival and stay in state by the total number of seniors who want to stay in state.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of seniors who want to attend a festival given that they want to stay in state, we need to divide the number of seniors who want to attend a festival and stay in state by the total number of seniors who want to stay in state. The number of seniors who want to attend a festival and stay in state is 186, and the total number of seniors who want to stay in state is 214. So, the percent of seniors who want to attend a festival given that they want to stay in state is 186/214 = 0.8706. Multiplying this by 100 gives us a percentage of 87.06%.
