book preference
\t\tprint\telectronic
youths\t40\t31
adults\t23\t35

what percent of the youths surveyed prefer reading printed books? round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

answer
%

Explanation:

Step1: Find total youths

Total youths = Youths who prefer print + Youths who prefer electronic = \( 40 + 31 = 71 \)

Step2: Calculate percentage

Percentage of youths who prefer print = \( \frac{\text{Youths who prefer print}}{\text{Total youths}} \times 100 = \frac{40}{71} \times 100 \approx 56.3\% \)

Answer:

\( 56.3\% \)
