What $\%$ of students prefer Cricket?

• A. $50\%$

• C. $12\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $30\%$

Total number of students $=5+12+3+20=40$
Number of students that prefer to play Cricket $=12$

The percentage of students that prefer to play Cricket $=\frac{NumberofstudentsthatprefertoplayCricket}{Totalnumberofstudents}\times 100\%$

The percentage of students that prefer to play Cricket $=\frac{12}{40}\times 100\%$

The percentage of students that prefer to play Cricket $=30\%$
