Divide :

 

( Number who like bowling )   /  ( Total number in survey)

 

This will produce a decimal......move the decimal two places to the right and add a " % " sign

It's says As part of a survey, 300 girls were asked to name their favorite sport. the results showed that 12 of the girls named bowling as their favorite sport. What percentage of the girls in the survey named bowling as their favorite sport?

12 /300   =  4/ 100   =  .04  =   4%
