To find the percentage of teachers who prefer reading electronic books, we add up the percentages given for each response option that represents teachers who prefer reading electronic books:
43.7% + 54.1% + 56.3% = 154.1%
So, out of the total responses for teachers surveyed, 154.1% prefer reading electronic books.
Next, we divide the total percentage of teachers who prefer reading electronic books by the total number of responses to find the percentage of teachers who prefer electronic books:
154.1% / 4 (total number of responses) = 38.525%
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the percentage of teachers who prefer reading electronic books is 38.5%.
