What percentage of the total students chose skateboarding?

3 / 7

To find the percentage of the total students who chose skateboarding, we need to add up the number of sixth graders and seventh graders who selected skateboarding and then divide that by the total number of students:

2 (sixth graders) + 1 (seventh grader) = 3 students who chose skateboarding
3 (total sixth graders) + 6 (total seventh graders) = 9 total students

So, 3 out of 9 total students selected skateboarding, which can be simplified to 1/3 or approximately 33.33%. Therefore, the answer is not listed, but the closest option is A. 10%.
