Question

Gideon asked 50 students at his middle school which option they would like for lunch: pizza, sandwiches or burritos. Ten students said pizza, 4 said sandwiches and the remaining students answered burritos. What percent of students in the school would you predict would choose burritos based on this survey?

Answer 1

Answer:

72% of students chose burritos

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would add up the total of kids that said they liked the other two options, which was pizza and sandwiches: 10+4=14

then you would take that number and subtract it from the total of all students: 50-14=36

and then you would take that number and divide it by 50: 36/50=.72

turn that into a percent and you'd get 72%
