Question

of a sample of 200 students surveyed,38 students said the soccer was their favorite sport what percent of the students in the sample prefer soccer 19% 38%40%76%

Answer 1

Out of 200 students surveyed, 38 said that soccer was their favorite sport.

The total number of students surveyed represents 100% of the sample, to determine which percentage does 38 represent, you can use cross multiplication:

200 students____100%

38 students _____ x%

Both relationships are at the same ratio so that:

`(100)/(200)=(x)/(38)`

To determine the percentage multiply both sides by 38:

`\begin{gathered} 38\cdot(100)/(200)=38\cdot(x)/(38) \\ 19=x \end{gathered}`

The percentage of students surveyed that like soccer is 19%
