How to determine the percentage of college graduates

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The data represented on the chart

Where, we have that

• 61 of 93 believe their education was useful for helping them grow personally and intellectually
• 35 of 84 believe their education was not useful for helping them develop specific skills and knowledge for the workplace

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

Percentage = (61 + 35)/(93 + 84)

Evaluate

Percentage = 54.24%

Hence, the percentage is 54.24%

Answer 2

We get the following from the given table.

The percentage of college graduates who believes their education was helping them grow personally and intellectually =62 % + 31 %= 93 %

The percentage of college graduates who believes their education was useful for helping them develop specific skills and knowledge for the workplace = 49%+25%= 84 %

The percentage of college graduates who does not believe their education was useful for helping them develop specific skills and knowledge for the workplace=100-84=16%

The percentage of college graduates believes their education was helping them grow personally and intellectually and does not believe useful for helping them develop specific skills and knowledge for the workplace=the least value of 93 and 16 is 16 %.

Hence the required percentage is 16%.
