Question

a survey asked a random sample students if they estimated they spent more or less than an hour a day on social media.

social media

	more	less
8th grade	20	26

what percent of the 8th graders estimated they spend more than an hour a day on social media? round your answer to the nearest whole number percent.

answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find total 8th graders

Total 8th graders = More + Less = \( 20 + 26 = 46 \)

Step2: Calculate percentage

Percentage = \( \frac{\text{More than an hour}}{\text{Total 8th graders}} \times 100 = \frac{20}{46} \times 100 \approx 43.48\% \)

Step3: Round to nearest whole number

Rounded percentage = \( 43\% \) (since \( 43.48 \) is closer to \( 43 \) than \( 44 \))

Answer:

43%
