A pie chart divided into 6 inequal sections is titled Transportation to School. The sections are labeled walk, 10; car, 12; bike, 2; train, 3; taxi, 4; and bus.
A total of 36 students were surveyed to determine the mode of transportation that they use to travel to school. What percentage of students walk to school? Round the percentage to the tenth.

how did you get that bot
To find the percentage of students who walk to school, I first added up the total number of students using each mode of transportation: 10 (walk) + 12 (car) + 2 (bike) + 3 (train) + 4 (taxi) + 5 (bus) = 36 total students.
Then, I found the number of students who walk to school (10) and divided it by the total number of students surveyed (36): 10/36 = 0.2778.
Lastly, I converted this to a percentage by multiplying by 100: 0.2778 x 100 = 27.78%. I rounded this to the nearest tenth, giving us 27.8%.

To find the percentage of students that take a car to school, you would take the number of students who take a car (12) and divide it by the total number of students surveyed (36).
Therefore, 12 (students who take a car) divided by 36 (total students surveyed) equals 0.3333.
Multiplying by 100, 0.3333 x 100 = 33.33%.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the percentage of students that take a car to school is 33.3%.

A circle graph divided into 4 sections shows the following distribution: dog, 35 percent; fish, 20 percent; cat, 30 percent; bird, with an unspecified percent.
A group of kindergarten students were surveyed to find out what kind of pet they had. The circle graph shows the results of 25 students surveyed. How many students have a pet fish?

To find out how many students have a pet fish, you first need to find the individual percentage for fish. From the circle graph, it is given that fish make up 20% of the total distribution.
Next, you know that 25 students were surveyed, so you need to find 20% of 25 to figure out how many students have a pet fish.
20% of 25 students = 0.20 x 25 = 5 students.
Therefore, 5 students have a pet fish.
