Question

The two way table shows the results of a survey that asked high school students whether they have a job.

Answer 1

(a) 50%
(b) 17%

Explanation:

(a)
No. of seniors = 54 + 46 = 100
Total No. = 66 + 34 + 54 + 46 = 200

% of seniors = 100/200 x 100% = 1/2 x 100% = 50%

(b)
No. of juniors that do not have a job = 34
Total No. = 66 + 34 + 54 + 46 = 200

% of juniors that do not have a job = 34/200 x 100% = 17/100 x 100% = 17%
