Question

random students were surveyed to determine which snacks should be offered at the schools movie night
popcorn has 34 votes
churros has 6 votes
candy has 10 votes what percentage of students surveyed selected churros or candy as their choice of snack?

Answer 1

To determine the percentage of students who selected churros or candy, we first need to calculate the total number of votes and the votes for churros and candy.

1. **Total votes:**
- Popcorn: 34 votes
- Churros: 6 votes
- Candy: 10 votes

Total votes = 34 + 6 + 10 = 50 votes

2. **Votes for churros and candy:**
- Churros: 6 votes
- Candy: 10 votes

Total for churros and candy = 6 + 10 = 16 votes

3. **Percentage of students who selected churros or candy:**
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Votes for churros and candy}}{\text{Total votes}} \right) \times 100
\]
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{16}{50} \right) \times 100 = 32\%
\]

Therefore, **32%** of students surveyed selected churros or candy as their choice of snack.
