Question

150 parents were surveyed. 26% said that the kids were noddy and 70% said their kids were nice. How many parents didn't answer with either naughty and nice?

Answer 1

Answer:

The parents who didn't answer with either naughty and nice are 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

150 parents were surveyed. 26% said that the kids were naughty and 70% said their kids were nice.

Now, to find parents who didn't answer with either naughty and nice.

So, as given in question:

70% said that their kids are naughty.

26% said that their kids are nice.

So, to get the percentage of parents who didn't answer we subtract.

Thus, the percentage of  parents who didn't answer with either naughty and nice:

100% - (70% + 26%)

100% - 96% = 4%.

Hence, 4% of parents didn't answer.

Now, to get how many  parents didn't answer we calculate the percentage of the total who didn't answer:

Total parents surveyed = 150.

Parents who didn't answer =  4% of the total parents surveyed.

$Parents\ who\ didn't\ answer = 4\% of 150.$

$Parents\ who\ didn't\ answer = \frac{4}{100}\times 150.$

$Parents\ who\ didn't\ answer = \frac{600}{100}.$

$Parents\ who\ didn't\ answer = 6.$

Therefore, the parents who didn't answer with either naughty and nice are 6.
