Boys watching tv is 23

(a) What percentage of the students prefer playing video games?
(b) What percentage of the students are boys?

Respuesta :

A= 44%
B= 42% 


You add 26 and 40 to get 66 and divide by 150. you get .44. Multiply this by 100 and get 44% for A.

You add 40 and 23 to get 63 and divide by 150 again. you get .42. Multiply this by 100 and get 42% for B.
