Answer 2

65 students chose purple as their favorite color.

55 students chose red as their favorite color.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The graph shows the percentage how the student chose their favorite color.

It shows that 26% chose purple as their favorite color.

It shows that 15% chose green as their favorite color.

It shows that 22% chose red as their favorite color.

It shows that 36% chose blue as their favorite color.

Total number of students = 250

Formula:

`\text{Number of students} = \% \text{ of student's favorite color}* \text{Total number of students}`

Number of students who chose purple as their favorite color =

`26\% \text{ of } 250 = \displaystyle(26)/(100)* 250 = 65`

65 students chose purple as their favorite color.

Number of students who chose red as their favorite color =

`22\% \text{ of } 250 = \displaystyle(22)/(100)* 250 = 55`
