Question

A customer survey asked respondents to indicate their highest levels of education. The only three choices in the survey were high school, college, and other. If 26% indicated high school and 47% indicated college, determine the percentage of respondents that chose the "other" category

Answer 1

27% of respondents chose the "other" category.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is simple math. If 100% accounts for every respondent, and 26 plus 47 is equal to 73, that means 73% of respondents answered either high school or college. So, subtract 73 from 100 and you get 27, which accounts for the remainder of respondents at 27%.
