Step2: Calculate number of students who prefer dramas

Add the drama - related numbers: \(16+13 + 9=38\)

Step3: Calculate the percentage

Use the formula \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Number of drama - preferring students}}{\text{Total number of students}}\times100\)

$$ \frac{38}{123}\times100=\frac{3800}{123}\approx 30.89 $$

Rounding to the nearest whole number gives \(31\)
