Answer 1

The percent of the country's population with AB blood type is 9% .

Explanation:

Given:

Recall that 1 = 100%. This means that 1 whole is 100%.

Given the percent blood types for people in a certain country:

Blood Type Percent

A 42%

B 16%

O 33%

AB AB

Now, to calculate the percent of the country's population with AB blood type:

So, getting the total percent of Blood types A, B and O:

`42\%+16\%+33\%=91\%.`

Now, to get the percent of AB blood type we subtract the total percent of blood types from the whole that is 100% (as given) :

`100\%-91\%`

`=9\%.`

Therefore, the percent of the country's population with AB blood type is 9% .
