A group of children are asked whether they prefer vanilla or chocolate ice cream. The data are collected in the table.
Accepted Solution
A:
THE BOYS Total boys 37 + 42 = 79
There are 37 boys of 79 boys who like vanilla ice cream.
The percentage will be [tex] \dfrac{37}{79} [/tex] × 100% multiply the numerator with the numerator = [tex] \dfrac{37(100)}{79} [/tex] % = [tex] \dfrac{3700}{79} [/tex] % = 46.8% to the nearest whole number = 47%
About 47% of the boys prefer vanila ice cream
THE GIRLS Total girls 40 + 33 = 73
There are 33 girls of 73 girls who like chocolate ice cream.
The percentage will be [tex] \dfrac{33}{73} [/tex] × 100% multiply the numerator with the numerator = [tex] \dfrac{33(100)}{73} [/tex] % = [tex] \dfrac{3300}{73} [/tex] % = 45.2% to the nearest whole number = 45%
