Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the percentage of freshmen attending

The number of freshmen attending is \(31\). The total number of students attending is \(116\).
The formula for percentage is \(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\).
So, \(\frac{31}{116}\times 100=\frac{3100}{116}\approx26.72\%\)

Step2: Calculate the percentage of juniors attending

The number of juniors attending is \(25\). The total number of juniors is \(36\) ( \(25 + 11\) ).
Using the percentage formula \(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\), we have \(\frac{25}{36}\times100=\frac{2500}{36}\approx69.44\%\)

Answer:

Freshmen represent approximately \(27\%\) of the students attending the home - coming game. \(69\%\) of the juniors are attending the home - coming game.
