Chapter 1.3, Problem 16R

To determine

Thepercentage of the circle graph that the orange juice drinkers would occupy.

Answer to Problem 16R

The percentage of the circle graph orange juice drinker would occupy is $\boxed{\text{orange juice drinkers \% = 22}\text{.8 \%}}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

56 out of 245 people would rather drink orange juice in the morning than coffee.

Formula used:

The expression for time is

  $\text{orange juice drinkers \%}=\frac{\text{Number of orange juice drinkers}}{\text{total people}}\times 100\%$.............(1)

Calculation:

Substitute 56 for the number of orange juice drinker and 245 for the total number of people in equation (1)

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{orange juice drinkers \%}=\frac{56}{245}\times 100\%\\ \boxed{\text{orange juice drinkers \%}=22.8\%}\end{array}$

The percentage of people dinking orange juice can be represented in circle graph as shown below.

  

Conclusion:

Hence, the percentage of the circle graph the orange juice drinkers would occupy is $\boxed{\text{orange juice drinkers \%=22}\text{.8 \%}}$ .
