Question

The entire seventh-grade class at Hobbes Junior High is having an ice cream party. The school conducted a survey about which kind of ice cream the students want for the party, with the choices of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and mint. The circle graph below shows the percentage of the class who voted for each flavor.

Approximately what percentage of the class voted for strawberry ice cream?

A. 30%
B. 60%
C. 20%
D. 10%

Answer 1

Explanation:

From the given circle graph, it can be observed that the "strawberry" wedge is approximately one-fourth (or 25%) of the entire circle.
