Answer:
Our set of data is:
A. their first choice (12 people)
B their second choice (7 people)
C their third choice (3 people)
D their last choice (3 people)
The total number of people is:
12 + 7 + 3 + 3 = 25.
You already know the number of people for each situation, but let's calculate the percentage:
1st choice: The first choice of 12 people winned, and the total number of people is 25.
Now, 25 is our 100%, then 12 is equivalent to x;
Then we have
12*100% = 25*x
x = (12/25)*100% = 48%
This is:
The quotient between
Second choice:
Same reasoning as above, here the percentage is:
(7/25)*100% = 28%
Third choice:
Same reasoning as above, here the percentage is:
(3/25)*100% = 12%
Fourth/Last choice:
Same reasoning as above, here the percentage is:
(3/25)*100% = 12%
