Explanation:

Givens

• Nikki checked out 36 people.
• Of the 36 people, 9 were men.

What percent of the people checked out were men?

To find the percentage that represents men, we just need to divide

`(9 \ men)/(36 \ people )=(1)/(4)`

Then, we divide and multiply by 100

`(1)/(4)=0.25`

`0.25 * 100\% = 25\%`

Therefore, 25% of the people that Nikki checked out were men.
