Ok, so at first this question seems tricky, since 5 does not go into 25.  However, you can't have a percentage of 1 person.  Since 5 goes into 25 5 times, then we will go with that.  So multiply 3 x 5 to get 15 girls.  Because you can't have a fraction of a single person.

You have to use proportion for this problem, so you do 
 
5 boys  =  3 girls
24 boys =  ? girls
24 times 3 equals 72. 72 divided by 5 equals 14.4. You have to round this answer to get 15 girls.
Hope this helped :D

Please help I do not get

Answer:

(a) 51%

(b) 41%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify this problem down by realizing that the amount of girls over 200 will get us our percentage as a decimal.

Looking at this table, we can see that 30+72=102 girls were asked. So, 102\div200=0.51, and 0.51\cdot100=51.

We can also see that 30+52=82 people preferred video games, so 82\div200=0.41, and 0.41\cdot100=41.

Hope this helped!
