Question

Lara surveyed all of the 11th grade students at her school about the number of languages they speak and whether or not they have allergies. Here are her results:

Answer 1

Answer:

57.6% have allergies

42.4% have no allergies

Step-by-step explanation:

We only need to consider the students who speak two languages according to the question.

To find the percent with allergies, divide the number of students with allergies by the total number of students (that speak two languages).

19/33 = 0.5757 = 57.6%

To find the percent without allergies, divide the number of students without allergies by the total number of students (that speak two languages).

14/33 = 0.4242 = 42.4%

Check your work by adding the percentages to make sure they equal 100%

57.6 + 42.4 = 100
