Question

Mrs. Arnold took a survey of the types of pants her students were wearing. She collected the data below. What percent of her students were wearing shorts? Jeans: 14 Shorts: 9 Capris: 2

Answer 1

36%

Explanation:

Jeans: 14

Shorts: 9

Capris: 2

Total number of students = Number of Jeans + Number of Shorts + Number of Capris

Total number of students = 14 + 9 + 2 = 25

% of students wearing shorts = Number of shorts / Total number of students * 100

% of students wearing shorts = 9 / 25 * 100 = 0.36 * 100 = 36%
