Question

100 students are interviewed to see which of biology, chemistry or physics they prefer.

Answer 1

Answer:

43% of the students prefer biology

Step-by-step explanation:

Among girls:

39 of the students are girls.

21 of the girls like biology best.

Boys:

100 - 39 = 61 are boys.

16 prefer physics

11 out of the 34 who prefer chemistry are girls, so 34 - 11 = 23 are boys.

61 - (16 + 23) = 22 prefer biology.

What percentage of the students prefer biology?

21 boys and 22 boys, that is, 43 students out of 100. So

43*100%/100 = 43%

43% of the students prefer biology
