To find the percentage of people surveyed who shop at a local grocery store, we need to first determine the total number of people who shop at the store and then calculate the percentage of that total relative to the overall number of people surveyed.
From the table, the total number of people who shop at a local grocery store (which includes both men and women) is given as:
- Women who shop at the store: 26
- Men who shop at the store: 34
Calculating the total who shop at the store:
\[ \text{Total who shop at the store} = 26 + 34 = 60 \]
The total number of people surveyed is 95.
Now we can calculate the percentage of people who shop at a local grocery store:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Total who shop at the store}}{\text{Total surveyed}} \right) \times 100 \]
Substituting the values we found:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{60}{95} \right) \times 100 \approx 63.16 \]
Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives:
\[ \text{Percentage} \approx 63% \]
Thus, the percentage of people surveyed who shop at a local grocery store is 63%.
