Question

students at a high school were polled to determine the type of music they preferred. there were 1950 students who completed the poll. their responses are represented in the circle graph.
what percent of students preferred rap music?
about □% of the students who completed the poll preferred rap music.
(round to one decimal place as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the number of students who preferred rap music.

From the given data, the number of students who preferred rap music is 919.

Step2: Calculate the total number of students who completed the poll.

The total number of students is 1950 (given).

Step3: Calculate the percentage of students who preferred rap music.

The formula for percentage is $\frac{\text{Number of students who preferred rap}}{\text{Total number of students}} \times 100$.
Substituting the values, we get $\frac{919}{1950} \times 100$.
First, calculate $\frac{919}{1950} \approx 0.47128$.
Then, multiply by 100: $0.47128 \times 100 = 47.128\%$.

Step4: Round to one decimal place.

Rounding 47.128 to one decimal place gives 47.1.

Answer:

47.1
