Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of people who shop at a local grocery store and the total number of people surveyed

The number of people who shop at a local grocery store is \(43\) (from the table). The total number of people surveyed is \(76\).

Step2: Calculate the percentage

The formula for percentage is \(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\%\). So we calculate \(\frac{43}{76}\times 100\%\).
