School A: 15/35 * 100 = 42.8%
School B: 13/42 * 100 = 30.9%
School C: 8/21 * 100 = 38.1%
School D: 16/41 * 100 = 39.2%
Therefore school A has the greatest percentage of students who like burgers for lunch.

Answer 2

School A has the greatest percentage of students who like burgers for lunch i.e 42.86%.

Explanation:

Consider the provided table.

Total Number of Students Who Liked Burgers

in the Cafeteria

School A 35 15

School B 42 13

School C 21 8

School D 41 16

Now calculate the percentage of students who like burgers for lunch as shown:

For School A: 15 student liked burger out of 35.

`(15)/(35)* 100=42.86\%`

For School B: 13 student liked burger out of 42.

`(13)/(42)* 100=30.95\%`

For School C: 8 student liked burger out of 21.

`(8)/(21)* 100=38.095\%`

For School D: 16 student liked burger out of 41.

`(16)/(41)* 100=39.024\%`

From the above calculation it is clear that School A has the greatest percentage of students who like burgers for lunch i.e 42.86%.
