Question

A group of tenth-grade students responded to a survey that asked which math course they were currently enrolled in. The survey data were broken down as shown in the table above. Which of the following categories accounts for approximately $19$ percent of all the survey respondents?

• A. Females taking Geometry
• B. Females taking Algebra II
• C. Males taking Geometry
• D. Males taking Algebra I

Answer 1

The correct option is C Males taking Geometry

$19\%$ of all the survey respondents implies we find out $19\%$ of $310$.

$19\%$ of $310=310\times \frac{19}{100}=58.9$ which is approximately equal to $59$.

Seen from the table, $59$ is the number of males taking geometry.
