To find the percentage that each season represents in a pie chart, we first need to calculate the total number of responses. We will then determine the percentage for each season by dividing the number of respondents who favor that season by the total number of respondents and multiplying by 100.
-
Calculate the Total: \[ \text{Total} = \text{Winter} + \text{Spring} + \text{Summer} + \text{Fall} \] \[ \text{Total} = 234 + 673 + 843 + 425 = 2205 \]
-
Calculate the Percentage for Each Season:
- Winter: \[ \text{Percentage}_{\text{Winter}} = \left( \frac{234}{2205} \right) \times 100 \approx 10.6% \]
- Spring: \[ \text{Percentage}_{\text{Spring}} = \left( \frac{673}{2205} \right) \times 100 \approx 30.6% \]
- Summer: \[ \text{Percentage}_{\text{Summer}} = \left( \frac{843}{2205} \right) \times 100 \approx 38.2% \]
- Fall: \[ \text{Percentage}_{\text{Fall}} = \left( \frac{425}{2205} \right) \times 100 \approx 19.3% \]
-
Final Percentages (rounded to the nearest tenth):
- Winter: 10.6%
- Spring: 30.6%
- Summer: 38.2%
- Fall: 19.3%
Thus, summarizing:
- Winter: 10.6%
- Spring: 30.6%
- Summer: 38.2%
- Fall: 19.3%
