Question

ronelle asked 100 students to choose their favorite subject from among mathematics, history, and art. she found that 22 students chose mathematics, 26 history, and the rest art. what percent of students chose art? 22% 26% 48% 52%

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of students who chose art

Total students = 100. Students who chose mathematics = 22, students who chose history = 26.
Number of students who chose art \(=100-(22 + 26)=100 - 48=52\)

Step2: Calculate the percentage of students who chose art

Percentage \(=\frac{\text{Number of students who chose art}}{\text{Total number of students}}\times100\)
\(=\frac{52}{100}\times100 = 52\%\)

Answer:

D. 52%
