Question

Lexi asked 325 students which fruit they preferred, bananas or pineapples. 200 students said they preferred pineapples. What percent preferred bananas

Answer 1

38.46%

Explanation:

Given,

The total number of students = 325

The number of students preferred pineapples = 200

Therefore, The number of students preferred bananas = (325 - 200) = 125

Among 325 students, banana is preferred 125 students

Among 1 student, banana is preferred 125/325 students

Among 100 students, banana is preferred (125*100)/325 students

= 500/13

= 38.46% (2 decimal places)
