To determine the relative frequency of the percent of 7th graders who prefer mountains, you need to first find the percentage of 7th graders who prefer mountains out of the total number of 7th graders.
The total number of 7th graders is 110, and the number who prefer mountains is 40.
Therefore, the percentage of 7th graders who prefer mountains is:
(40/110) * 100 = 36.4%
So the correct answer is 36.4%.
