Final answer:

About 52% of Casey's classmates are boys who favor going to the beach in the summer when rounded to the nearest percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine what percent of Casey's classmates are boys who favor going to the beach in the summer, we need to look at the data provided. According to the data, there are 61 classmates in total who favor going to the beach and 32 of them are boys. To find the percentage, we divide the number of boys who like going to the beach by the total number of classmates and then multiply by 100:

(Number of boys favoring the beach / Total number of classmates) × 100 = (32 / 61) × 100 ≈ 52.46%

After doing the calculation, we round the result to the nearest percent, which gives us 52% as the percentage of Casey's classmates who are boys favoring going to the beach in the summer,
