Thank you so much
To find the percentage of the sixth-grade class that said they would like to be a movie director, you need to divide the number of students who chose that job (92) by the total number of students in the sixth-grade class.
The total number of students can be calculated by adding up the number of students interested in each job:
84 (Online Game Designer) + 92 (Movie Director) + 124 (Professional Musician) + 100 (Professional Athlete) = 400.
Now, divide the number of students who want to be a movie director (92) by the total number of students (400).
92 / 400 = 0.23
To convert this decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100.
0.23 * 100 = 23%
Therefore, approximately 23% of the sixth-grade class said they would like to be a movie director.
