Answer 2

2.87 % students earning degrees in 2009 were awarded a professional degree .

Explanation:

Formula

`Percentage = (Part\ value* 100)/(Total\ value)`

As given

According to the survey total degree obtained by the male and female in 2009 were 3204 .

Thus

Total value = 3204

Professional degree obtained by the male and female in 2009 were 92 .

Thus

Part value = 92

Puttting all the values in the formula

`Percentage = (92* 100)/(3204)`

`Percentage = (9200)/(3204)`

Percentage = 2.87 % (Approx)

Therefore the 2.87 % students earning degrees in 2009 were awarded a professional degree .
