Question

Use the table. What percentage of the people surveyed were teachers who wanted a later start time?

Answer 1

The Solution.

The percentage of the people survey that were teachers that voted yes to start later is

`\text{ }\frac{\text{ number of teachers that voted YES}}{\text{ Total number of people surveyed}}*100`

Which is

`(20)/(75)*100=0.266667*100=26.6667\approx26.67\text{ \%}`

b. The percentage of the people surveyed that were teachers is

`\frac{\text{ number of teachers surveyed}}{\text{ Total number of people surveyed}}*100`

Which is

`(30)/(75)*100=0.4*100=40\text{ \%}`

Hence, the correct answer are:

a. 26.67% b. 40%
