Question

A group of 450 middle school students were randomly selected and asked about their preferred television genre. A circle graph was created from the data collected.

a circle graph titled preferred television genre, with five sections labeled drama 14 percent, sports 22 percent, documentaries, reality 20 percent, and sci-fi 20 percent

How many middle school students prefer the Documentaries television genre?

24
76
86
108

Answer 1

108 students

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the percent that is documentaries.

The total must be 100%

14+22+20+20 + d = 100

76+d = 100

d = 100-76

d = 24

The percent that is documentaries is 24%

Multiply 24% by 450 middle school students.

.24 * 450

108
