Question

As part of a survey 400 students were asked to name their favorite movie. The results showed 250 of the girls said Mean Girls was their favorite movie. What percentage of the girls said Mean Girls was their favorite movie

Answer 1

ANSWER

62.5%

EXPLANATION

Out of 400 students, 250 girls said Mean Girls was their favorite movie.

To find the percentage of girls that said Mean Girls was their favorite movie, we have to divide the number of girls that said that by the total number of people that participated in the survey and multiply by 100.

That is:

$\text{ \%MG = }\frac{250}{400}\cdot\text{ 100 = 62.5\%}$

That is the answer.
