Answer 1

To find the percentage of girls who chose math, we have to divide the number of girls who chose math by the total number of girls.

`P=(15)/(67)\approx0.22`

Hence, 22% of the girls chose Math.

On the other hand, to find the percentage of boys who chose English, we have to divide all the boys who chose English but the total number of boys.

`P=(9)/(57)\approx0.16`

Hence, 16% of the boys chose English.
