Answer:

In explanation

Explanation:

272 for part A because say you took a test out of 850 and you got a total of 272 of them right then you would of gotten a 32%

200 for 2 because if 75% of them liked pop music and 150 teenagers what the number of teenagers surveyed then that means 200 of them were surveyed because 150 out of 200 is 75%

I don't know the last one because if you had anything there only could get a 100%(im sorry for this one it's a little confusing.

Hope this helps have a great afternoon:)
