You are given the following frequency table:


\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Club} & | & \text{Number of members} \\ \text{Chess}&|&11\\\text{Photography}&|&14\\\text{Book}&|&9\\\text{Science}&|&10\\\text{French}&|&8\\\text{Glee}&|&13\end{array}

From the table 10 students from 85 students at the school are members of SScience club, then

85 students - 100%

10 students - x%.

Write a proportion:


(85)/(10)=(100)/(x)\Rightarrow x=(10\cdot 100)/(85)\approx 12\%

Answer: option B, 12%
