Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

• Nikki checked out 36 people.
• Of the 36 people, 9 were men.

What percent of the people checked out were men?

To find the percentage that represents men, we just need to divide

$\frac{9 \ men}{36 \ people }=\frac{1}{4}$

Then, we divide and multiply by 100

$\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

$0.25 \times 100\% = 25\%$

Therefore, 25% of the people that Nikki checked out were men.
