Answer 2

Number of boys = 9

Number of girls = 11

Total number of surveyed boys and girls = 9+11=20

Number of boys = 3

Number of girls=2

Total number of boys and girls said they liked country Music = 3+2 = 5

Percentage of total boys and girls said they liked country music

5/20×100)%

=(5×5)%

=25%
