Question

Northlake High School has two lunch periods. Students can eat their lunch in

the cafeteria or on an outside patio. About 35% of students who have first
lunch eat outside. Compare this with the percentage of second-lunch
students who eat outside.

Answer 1

Based on the data given on Northlake High School, we can infer that B. A greater percentage of second-lunch students (39%) eat outside.

What does the data on the First and Second lunches show?

The percentage of second-lunch students who eat outside is:

= Second lunch students who eat outside / Second lunch students

Solving gives:

= 0.18 / 0.46 x 100%

= 0.3913 x 100%

= 39%

This shows that the percentage of students eating their second lunch outside is 39%.

so the answer is B
