To find the percentage of students who prefer scary movies, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of students who prefer scary movies}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100 \]
In this case:
- Number of students who prefer scary movies = 35
- Number of students who prefer comedies = 65
- Total number of students = 35 + 65 = 100
Now plug in the values:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{35}{100} \right) \times 100 = 35% \]
Therefore, the percentage of students who prefer scary movies is 35%.
