Question

In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveyed 450,000 adults ages 18 and older and found that 79% of them do not get the recommended amount of exercise each week. What percent of adults do not get the recommended amount of exercise, expressed as a rate per 100?

Answer 1

`Percent = 79\%`

Explanation:

Given

`Adults = 450000`

`Rate = 79\%` --- Those that do not get recommended amount of exercise

Required

The percentage that do not get the recommended amount of exercise

From the question, we have 79% to be the percentage of adults that do not get the recommended amount of exercise. This 79% represents the required percentage

Hence:

`Percent = 79\%`
