Question

question 2
based on the table, what percent of all students bought lunch from the cafeteria? round your answer to the nearest whole percent.
48%
54%
44%
56%

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total students

First, find the total number of students.
For Grade 7: \(18 + 10=28\)
For Grade 8: \(12 + 14 = 26\)
Total students \(=28+26 = 54\)

Step2: Calculate total students who bought lunch

Total students who bought lunch \(=10 + 14=24\)

Step3: Calculate the percentage

Percentage \(=\frac{24}{54}\times100\approx44.44\%\)
Rounding to the nearest whole percent gives \(44\%\)

Answer:

44%
