Question

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of students

Add up all the values in the table: \(2 + 4+6 + 8=20\)

Step2: Calculate the number of 7th - graders

Add the number of 7th - grade boys and girls: \(2 + 4 = 6\)

Step3: Calculate the percentage

Use the formula \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\%\). Here, the part is the number of 7th - graders (\(6\)) and the whole is the total number of students (\(20\)). So, \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{6}{20}\times100\% = 30\%\)

Answer:

\(30\%\)
