Question

You collected the following data about the colors of cars in the student parking lot. Red Black Blue White Other 85 104 35 88 48 When making a pie chart for this data, what percentage of the cars would the sector labeled "White" include? Round to the nearest percent. (1 point) 24% 28% 32% 37%

Answer 1

To find the percentage of cars that are white, we need to follow these steps:

1. Calculate the total number of cars: \[ \text{Total} = \text{Red} + \text{Black} + \text{Blue} + \text{White} + \text{Other} \] \[ \text{Total} = 85 + 104 + 35 + 88 + 48 = 360 \]

2. Calculate the percentage of white cars: \[ \text{Percentage of White} = \left( \frac{\text{White}}{\text{Total}} \right) \times 100 \] \[ \text{Percentage of White} = \left( \frac{88}{360} \right) \times 100 \approx 24.44% \]

3. Round to the nearest percent: 24.44% rounds to 24%.

Thus, the sector labeled "White" would include approximately 24% of the cars.
