To find the percentage of students who have a phone plan with texting, we need to add the number of students who have plans that include texting. The relevant plans are:

  • Voice and texting (12 students)
  • Voice, texting, and data (4 students)

So the total number of students with texting plans is:

12 (Voice and texting) + 4 (Voice, texting, and data) = 16 students

Now, we need to determine the total number of students surveyed:

  • No cell phone: 20 students
  • Voice only: 14 students
  • Voice and texting: 12 students
  • Voice, texting, and data: 4 students

Total = 20 + 14 + 12 + 4 = 50 students

Now, we calculate the percentage of students with a phone plan that includes texting:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of students with texting}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100 \]

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{16}{50} \right) \times 100 = 32% \]

Thus, the answer is 32%.
