Men 20 20 40
Total 43 33 76

What percent of the people surveyed shop at a local grocery store? Round your answer to the nearest whole number percent.

Answer 1

To determine the percentage of people who shop at a local grocery store, we can use the total number of people surveyed and the number of people who shop at a local grocery store.

The total number of people surveyed is 76. From the data, we can see that the total number of people shopping at the store (local grocery store) is given as the sum of women and men:

- Women who shop at the store: 23
- Men who shop at the store: 20

Total shopping at the store = 23 + 20 = 43

Now, we can calculate the percentage as follows:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of people shopping at the store}}{\text{Total number of people surveyed}} \right) \times 100
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{43}{76} \right) \times 100 \approx 56.58
\]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get approximately 57%.

Therefore, the percent of the people surveyed who shop at a local grocery store is **57%**.
