Question

60 boys at a summer camp were asked to complete a survey about their favorite outdoor activity. 18 boys chose biking and 29 boys chose fishing. The remaining boys did not complete the survey. Which expression gives the percent of survey participants who chose fishing?

Answer 1

Answer:

 Expression for percent of survey participants who chose fishing = $\frac{29}{47} *100$

Explanation:

 Total number of boys = 60

 Number of boys who took part in survey = 18 + 29 =47

 Number of boys who chose fishing = 29.

 Percentage of an outcome = (Number of favorable outcome/ Total number of outcome) x 100

 Percentage of boys who chose fishing = (29/47)x100

 Expression for percent of survey participants who chose fishing = $\frac{29}{47} *100$
