Question #N902
A group of 100 people were surveyed about their favorite type of music. 40 people said they prefer pop music, 35 people said they prefer rock music, and the rest prefer country music. What percentage of the people surveyed prefer country music?
A. 15%
B. 25%
C. 35%
D. 40%
Correct Answer is: B
First, find the total number of people who prefer pop or rock: 40 + 35 = 75. Then, subtract that number from the total number of people surveyed to find the number who prefer country music: 100 - 75 = 25. Finally, divide the number who prefer country music by the total number of people surveyed and multiply by 100% to find the percentage: (25 / 100) * 100% = 25%.
