Question

Romello asked 100 students to choose their favorite subject from among mathematics, history, and art. She found that 22 students chose mathematics, 26 history, and the rest art. What percent of students chose art

Answer 1

The percentage of students who chose art is 52 %

Explanation:

Given;

total number of students, T = 100 students

number of students who chose mathematics, m = 22

number of students who chose history, h = 26

number of students who chose art, a = 100 - (22 + 26)

number of students who chose art, a = 52

percentage of students who chose art = (a / T ) x (100%)

= (52 / 100) x (100%)

= 52 %

Therefore, the percentage of students who chose art is 52 %
