Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\% = 53.8 \%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Yes = 483[/tex]

[tex]No = 807[/tex]

[tex]Maybe = 210[/tex]

Required

Determine percentage of "No"

First, we need to determine the total population

[tex]Total= 483 + 807 + 210[/tex]

[tex]Total= 1500[/tex]

Percentage of No is then calculated as follows:

[tex]\% = \frac{No}{Total} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% = \frac{807}{1500} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% = \frac{80700}{1500} \%[/tex]

[tex]\% = 53.8 \%[/tex]
