Answer 1

Answer:

Our set of data is:

A. their first choice (12 people)

B their second choice (7 people)

C their third choice (3 people)

D their last choice (3 people)

The total number of people is:

12 + 7 + 3 + 3 = 25.

You already know the number of people for each situation, but let's calculate the percentage:

1st choice: The first choice of 12 people winned, and the total number of people is 25.

Now, 25 is our 100%, then 12 is equivalent to x;

Then we have

12*100% = 25*x

x = (12/25)*100% = 48%

This is:

The quotient between

Second choice:

Same reasoning as above, here the percentage is:

(7/25)*100% = 28%

Third choice:

Same reasoning as above, here the percentage is:

(3/25)*100% = 12%

Fourth/Last choice:

Same reasoning as above, here the percentage is:

(3/25)*100% = 12%
