What percentage of the student body are in the go grade and don't play a sport? Round your answer
to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Okay, according to the graph, there are 55 9th graders under the column

"NO SPORTS"

and there are 612 total people in the school

55 / 612 = the percentage of the student body who is in 9th grade and doesn't play a sport

55 / 612 = 0.0898

8.9% but we need to round

the answer is : about 9% of the students body
