GPT-4o mini · Answer

To find the percentage of students who chose art, we first need to determine how many students selected art.

Given:

Total students = 100
Students who chose mathematics = 22
Students who chose history = 26

We can calculate the number of students who chose art:

Number of students who chose art = Total students - (Students for mathematics + Students for history) = 100 - (22 + 26) = 100 - 48 = 52

Now, to find the percentage of students who chose art, we use the formula:

Percentage of students who chose art = (Number of students who chose art / Total students) × 100% = (52 / 100) × 100% = 52%

Thus, the percentage of students who chose art is 52%.
