A random sample of 47 residents were asked which grocery store they prefer to shop at. The results were used to create this frequency bar chart.

Question

Approximately what percent of residents prefer to shop at Walmart? (9 residents chose Walmart)

Answer 1

To find the percentage of residents who prefer to shop at Walmart, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of residents who prefer Walmart}}{\text{Total number of residents}} \right) \times 100 \]

Given:

• Number of residents who prefer Walmart = 9
• Total number of residents = 47

Now, plug the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{9}{47} \right) \times 100 \approx 19.15% \]

Therefore, approximately 19.15% of residents prefer to shop at Walmart.
