it says what percentage OF 10th graders so take the # of 10th graders riding the bus and divide by the total amount of 10th graders. 66/150=44%

Among the 10th graders surveyed, around 44% ride the bus to school. This percentage is calculated by dividing the number of 10th graders who ride the bus by the total number of 10th graders.

To find the percentage of 10th graders who ride the bus to school, we need to consider the number of 10th graders who ride the bus and divide it by the total number of 10th graders.

From the table:

- The number of 10th graders who ride the bus is 66.

- The total number of 10th graders is 150.

The percentage of 10th graders who ride the bus can be calculated using the formula: \
(\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number who ride the bus}}{\text{Total number in the category}}\right) * 100\).


\[ \text{Percentage} = \left((66)/(150)\right) * 100 \approx 44\% \]

Therefore, approximately 44% of 10th graders ride the bus to school.
