Answer 1

`\% = 53.8 \%`

Explanation:

Given

`Yes = 483`

`No = 807`

`Maybe = 210`

Required

Determine percentage of "No"

First, we need to determine the total population

`Total= 483 + 807 + 210`

`Total= 1500`

Percentage of No is then calculated as follows:

`\% = (No)/(Total) * 100\%`

`\% = (807)/(1500) * 100\%`

`\% = (80700)/(1500) \%`

`\% = 53.8 \%`
