Using the frequency table below what percent of people surveyed were very satisfied or satisfied? Round to the nearest percent.

Question

very satisfied 59
satisfied 42
neutral 12
dissatisfied 8
very dissatisfied 5

Answer 1

To find the percentage of people who were very satisfied or satisfied, we add the frequencies for those two categories:

59 (very satisfied) + 42 (satisfied) = 101

Now we divide this total by the sum of all the frequencies and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

101 / (59 + 42 + 12 + 8 + 5) = 101 / 126 ≈ 0.8016

Rounded to the nearest percent, approximately 80% of people surveyed were very satisfied or satisfied.
