48% of the seniors would prefer to see candid pictures in this year's edition of the yearbook
Given table is:
[tex]\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c c c c } - & more colored photos & more candid. pics & lower price & total \\ Underclassmen & 10& 18 & 27 & 55\\ Seniors & 4 & x & 9 & y \\Total & 14 & 30 & 36 & 80\end{tabular}\end{center}[/tex]
In the column of more candid. pics, the total is 30.
Thus we conclude that 18 + x = 30
or that x = 12
Now in the last column of total, there is y in the second row.
Since 4 + x + 9 = y and that x = 12
Thus we have:
4 + 12 + 9 = y
25 = y
Percentage of the seniors preferring to see candid pictures is calculated as:
[tex]= \dfrac{x}{y}\times100 \: percent\\\\= \dfrac{12}{25} \times 100\\\\= 48 \: percent[/tex]
Thus there are 48% of the seniors who'd prefer to see candid pictures in this year's edition of the yearbook.
