PLZ HELP!!!!!!

(06.05 MC)
A group of students were surveyed to find out if they like watching television or reading during their free time. The results of the survey are shown below
90 students like watching television
20 students like watching television but do not like reading
80 students like reading
40 students do not like watching television
Make a two-way table to represent the data and use the table to answer the following questions.
Part A: What percentage of the total students surveyed like both watching television and reading? Show your work. (5 points)

Answer:

A: 39.1304348% OR 39%

B: 33.3%

Explanation:

Part A:

find the total amount of children: 90+20+80+40=230

90-20=50

i got this from taking away the amount that like watching tv and not reading so from this you know 50 of those 90 that like watching tv also like tv and reading.

80-40=40

(same explanation as 90-20=50)

then do 50 +40 which equals 90

now you need to turn it into a percentage.

90/230=

9/23

=39.1304348%

if you need round it, do so!

Part b:

40+20=60

20/60= 2/6

=1/3

=33.3%
