Question

A survey asked people to name their favorite season. The results of the survey showed that 34% said spring and 15% said fall. What percentages of
people could have said summer and winter?
A. 37% and 29%
O B. 25% and 24%
C. 66% and 85%
D. 29% and 22%

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 29% and 22%

Step-by-step explanation:

The known percentages are 34% and 15%. Add these two together to get 49%. All four choices should add up to 100%. So subtract to find what remains:

100% - 49%

= 51%

We don't actually have enough information to determine the percents for summer and winter. BUT the only answer that adds up to 51% is answer D. 29% and 22%.
