Answer:

Explanation:

Based on ur graph, in a class of 90 students (20 rock, 40 hip hop, and 30 country...added = 90) , 30 chose country....30/90 reduces to 1/3.....so 1/3 chose country.

In a class of 450 students......1/3 * 450 = 450/3 = 150 chose country

Answer:

The total percentages do not equal 100%, they equal 102%. If all friends answered, his total should equal 100%

Explanation:

0.42 is 42%, 22% is 22%, and 2/5 is 0.4 which is 40%. Together that is 102%. If all friends answered, his total should equal 100%
