Answer:

Correct option is:

B. There were 2,996 girls surveyed, and about 45% of them play video games.

Explanation:

Let us calculate the percentage step by step as per the options.

We are given the following:

1. Boys who do play video games = 1593

2. Boys who do not play video games = 858

3. Total boys = 2451

4. Girls who do play video games = 1361

5. Boys who do not play video games = 1635

6. Total boys = 2996

7. Total number of candidates = Total boys + Total girls = 5447

8. Total number of students, who play video games = 2954

9. Total number of students, who do not play video games = 2493

Percentage of boys who play video games:


(1593)/(2451) * 100 = 64.99\%

So, option A is not correct.

Percentage of girls who play video games:


(1361)/(2996) * 100 = 45.43\%

The percentage is near about 45%, so option B is correct.

Percentage of Total number of students, who do not play video games:


(2493)/(5447) * 100 = 45.77\%

So, option C is not correct.

Hence, correct answer is option B.
