Question 430893: Pie Chart percentage question.Thank you for taking the time to answer this question.There are 130 students. 68 like chocolate ice cream. 52 like Vanilla. I want to know what percentage like each flavor. I thought 68/130=52% and 52/130=40%
Why doesn't the total = 100%? The answer should be 57% chocolate and 43% vanilla??? How is that done? and what did I do wrong???? Thank you so much for your time and more important your knowledge.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since 68+%2B+52+=+120, they either didn't poll
all the students, or the other 10 students didn't
like either flavor.
If you take +x%2F100+=+68%2F120,
x+=+56.67, and take x%2F100+=+52%2F120
x+=+43.33
But then the question must be "Of the students who were able
to answer the question, what percent liked each flavor?
