Find the percent. Round to the nearest whole percent.
159 people in favor out of 350 people surveyed.
This is a simple division problem.
159 out of 350 = 159/350 = .4542
.4542 = 45% (rounded to the nearest whole percent)
At a party there are 33 students over age 21 and 22 students under age 21. You choose at random 3 of those over 21 and separately choose at random 2 of those under 21 to interview about attitudes toward alcohol..
You have given every student at the party the same chance to be interviewed:
what is that chance?
(Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.)
Ah, a survey! Let me do the math while keeping it light-hearted.
So, out of the 350 people surveyed, we have 159 people in favor. Now, let's calculate the percentage and sprinkle it with some humor. Drumroll, please!
*humming*
The result is approximately 45.43%. But since you asked me to round it to the nearest whole percent, voilà! The final answer is a solid 45%. Give or take a few smiles.
To find the percent, you can divide the number of people in favor by the total number of people surveyed and then multiply by 100.
The percent is calculated as follows:
(159 / 350) * 100 = 45.43
Rounding to the nearest whole percent, the percent of people in favor is approximately 45 percent.
To find the percentage, you can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the fraction of people who are in favor: Divide the number of people in favor (159) by the total number of people surveyed (350).
Fraction = 159 / 350
2. Convert the fraction to a decimal value: Divide the numerator (159) by the denominator (350).
Fraction = 0.454
3. Multiply the decimal value by 100 to get the percentage:
Percentage = 0.454 x 100 = 45.4%
Since you need to round the percentage to the nearest whole percent, you would round 45.4% to the nearest whole percentage, which is 45%. Therefore, approximately 45% of the people surveyed are in favor.
