Question

for a month, lindsey tracked how she got to school each day and whether or not it was raining.
to the nearest percent, what percentage of the rainy days were days that lindsey walked to school?
rain\tno rain
bus\t11\t3
walking\t7\t9
7%
23%
39%
60%

Explanation:

Step1: Find total rainy days

First, we need to find the total number of rainy days. From the table, on rainy days, Lindsey took the bus 11 times and walked 7 times. So total rainy days = 11 + 7 = 18.

Step2: Calculate percentage of walking on rainy days

The number of rainy days when she walked is 7. To find the percentage, we use the formula: $\text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Number of walking on rainy days}}{\text{Total rainy days}} \times 100\%$. So, $\frac{7}{18} \times 100\% \approx 38.89\%$, which rounds to 39%.

Answer:

39%
