To find the percentage of men surveyed who shop online, we will use the number of men who shop online and the total number of men surveyed.

From the table provided:

  • Number of men who shop online = 11
  • Total number of men surveyed = 51

The formula for calculating the percentage of men who shop online is:

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

Plugging in the numbers:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{11}{51} \right) \times 100 \approx 21.57 \]

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we find:

\[ \text{Percentage} \approx 22% \]

So, approximately 22% of the men surveyed shop online.
