I got the first part of the problem but cannot get the percentage correct.

Question

In a recent transportation survey, 500 high school seniors were asked to check the appropriate box or boxes on the following form.

The results were tabulated as follows: 94 checked the automobile box, 122 checked the motorcycle box, and 25 checked both boxes.

(b) What percent of these students own an automobile or a motorcycle? Round your answer to one decimal place.)

=______%

Answer 1

Alice, the percentage they want is simply the fraction

(number of students with motorcycle, car, or both)

divided by

(total number of students)

So just compute (94 + 122 + 25) / 500 out to three decimal places.

Youll get a number less than 1. To represent as a percentage, move the decimal point two places to the right, and then round the number.
