Approximately 37% of students at Berkeley Central High School preferred pizza based on a survey. The data showed 44% of females and 30% of males chose pizza for lunch.
The correct answer is (3) 37.
To find the percentage of students who preferred pizza, we need to sum the number of students who preferred pizza and then calculate the percentage of the total.
For females: 44 (pizza preference)
For males: 30 (pizza preference)
Total pizza preferences = 44 (females) + 30 (males) = 74
Now, we need to find the total number of students surveyed:
Total females = 32 + 44 + 24 = 100
Total males = 36 + 30 + 34 = 100
Total students = Total females + Total males = 100 + 100 = 200
Now, calculate the percentage of students who preferred pizza:
Percentage of pizza preference = (Total pizza preferences / Total students) * 100
Percentage of pizza preference = (74 / 200) * 100
Percentage of pizza preference = 0.37 * 100
Percentage of pizza preference = 37%
Therefore, the correct answer is (3) 37.
