Group of answer choices
School D
School C
School A
School B
To find the school with the greatest percentage of students who like burgers for lunch, we need to calculate the percentage for each school.
For School A, the percentage can be calculated as (number of students who like burgers / total number of students in the cafeteria) * 100.
So, for School A, the percentage would be (15/35) * 100 = 42.86%.
For School B, the percentage would be (13/42) * 100 = 30.95%.
For School C, the percentage would be (8/21) * 100 = 38.10%.
For School D, the percentage would be (16/41) * 100 = 39.02%.
Based on these calculations, School A has the greatest percentage of students who like burgers for lunch, with 42.86%. Therefore, the answer is School A.
