Calculate the number of men
men = 32 - 9
men = 23

Write the men as a fraction to total students
f men = number of men/number of students
f men = 23/32

Change the fraction into percentage
p men = 23/32 × 100%
p men = 2,300/32 %
p men = 71.875%
to the nearest tenth
p men = 71.9%

The answer is 71.9%
