Question

As part of a survey, 300 girls were asked to name their favorite sport. The results showed that 12 of the girls

named bowling as their favorite sport. What percentage of the girls in the survey named bowling as their favorite
sport?

Answer 1

4%

Explanation:

1. Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.

2. P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y.

3. Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10.

Answer 2

Explanation:

`(12)/(300)*100=(12)/(3)=4`

4% of the girls in the survey named bowling as their favorite

sport.
