Answer 2

More classmates liked hip-hop than relatives.

Explanation:

• First, turn the percentages into decimals by dividing them by 100:

62 ÷ 100 = 0.62

70 ÷ 100 = 0.7

• Then, multiply the amount of people by the decimals towork out how many people like hip-hop:

• CLASSMATES = 80 × 0.62 = 49.6 (0r 50 when rounded tp the nearest person)
• RELATIVES = 60 × 0.7 = 42 people

• As 50 is more than 42, this shows that more classmates liked hip-hop than relatives
