Question

250 college students were surveyed about if they liked the food choices offered by the cafeteria. 140 people said that they did like the choices offered. what percentage of the students like the food offered?

Answer 1

Percentage is a ratio of a unit of an outcome in an event divided to the total sample times 100%.  It means parts per hundred. To calculate, we  get the ratio of the people who liked the choices and the total sample then multiply by 100. We calculate as follows:

Percent = 140/250 x100 = 56%
