Answer 2

to find a percentage of something you take the fraction and multiply it by a hundred

Explanation:

step one

to determine what the fraction would be you just read the question:

first you have to see what they want to calculate the percentage of. In this case it's students who like traveling out of state but don't like camping.

88 students like traveling out of state and 36 of those students don't like camping so the fraction you have to use is 36/88

step two

next you multiply your fraction by 100 to calculate your percentage

36/88 ×100= 40.9%

step three

since you have to round to the nearest whole percent your answer would be 41%
