1 answer

To find the percentage of sixth-graders who chose walking, we need to calculate the percentage of the total number of sixth-graders who chose walking.

The total number of sixth-graders who participated is 3 + 5 + 2 = 10.

The number of sixth-graders who chose walking is 3.

To find the percentage, we can use the formula:

percentage = (part/whole) x 100

Substituting in the values, we get:

percentage = (3/10) x 100
percentage = 30%

Therefore, the answer is A. 30%.
