Answer 1

(a) 26 %

(b) 48%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students is

`45+27+66+12`
`=150`

(a).

The total number of students that go to the movies three times or more is

`27+12=39`

Therefore, the percentage is

`(39)/(150)*100\%`
`=26\%`

(b).

The total number of students that prefer action movies is

`45+27=72`

therefore, the percentage is

`(72)/(150)*100\%=48\%`

Hence, to summerise:

(a) 26 %

(b) 48%
