Question

a survey asked a group of adults and youths if they prefer reading books printed on paper or electronic books. what percent of the youths surveyed prefer reading electronic books? round your answer to the nearest whole number percent.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total number of youths surveyed

The number of youths who prefer print books is \(23\), and the number of youths who prefer electronic books is \(23\). So the total number of youths surveyed is \(23 + 23=46\).

Step2: Calculate the percentage of youths who prefer electronic books

The formula for percentage is \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\%\). Here, the part is the number of youths who prefer electronic books (\(23\)), and the whole is the total number of youths surveyed (\(46\)). So \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{23}{46}\times 100\% = 50\%\)

Answer:

\(50\%\)
