Answer 1

Answer:

The percent of the country's population with AB blood type is 9% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Recall that 1 = 100%. This means that 1 whole is 100%.

Given the percent blood types for people in a certain country:

Blood Type                Percent

A                                   42%  

B                                   16%

O                                   33%

AB                                AB

Now, to calculate the percent of the  country's population with AB blood type:

So, getting the total percent of Blood types A, B and O:

$42\%+16\%+33\%=91\%.$

Now, to get the percent of AB blood type we subtract the total percent of blood types from the whole that is 100% (as given) :

$100\%-91\%$

$=9\%.$

Therefore, the percent of the country's population with AB blood type is 9% .
