Question

A survey stopped men and women at random to ask them where they purchased groceries, at a local grocery store or online.
Grocery Options
Gender Store Online Total
Women 33 13 46
Men 32 20 52
Total 65 33 98

What percent of the women surveyed shop online? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

To find the percentage of women surveyed who shop online, we can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of women who shop online}}{\text{Total number of women surveyed}}\right) \times 100
\]

From the table:

- Number of women who shop online = 13
- Total number of women surveyed = 46

Now, we can plug in the values:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{13}{46}\right) \times 100
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\frac{13}{46} \approx 0.2826
\]

Now, multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:

\[
0.2826 \times 100 \approx 28.26\%
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent, we find:

\[
28.3\%
\]

Thus, the percentage of women surveyed who shop online is **28.3%**.
