Hi can someone help me in working out percentages. In my school, questionnaires were filled out by 48 people. The options they had to choose were 'strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly disagree'

How would I work out the percentage for each of the 'strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly agree'.

Below are just some sample figures

Strongly agree - 20 people
Agree - 15
Disagree - 12
Strongly disagree - 1

How would I determine the percentage for each one above. Please can someone show how to work it put. Thanks

Put the smaller number (1, 12, 15, 20) over the total (48) to make a fraction. Change each fraction to a decimal and then to a percent.

Can you please show me an example of changing fraction to decimal to percentage please

Would the answers be for the above figures I provided:
Strongly agree 41%
Agree 31.25%
Disagree 25%
Strongly disagree 2.08%

Can someone let me know if these answers are correct

Do the percents total 100 percent?

Ok so your total was 48 people.
To work out 'strongly agree' you would do 20 divided by 48, then times it by 100 to get 42% (round it to nearest whole number)
For agree - 15 divided by 48, times 100 to get 31% (rounded)
Disagree - 12 divided by 48, times 100 to get 25%
Strongly disagree - 1 divided by 48, times 100 to get 2% (rounded)
Finally you would add all the percentages together to check that they total 100% which they do.
The only thing that you did was that you didn't round the final numbers up.
Hope I helped :)

15yearoldgirl, we are to help but NOT do the work for someone.

That was just an example she gave. She was asking how to work out percentages. She said 'below are just some sample figures'. It wasn't a homework question or if so those were not the figures in the ACTUAL question, so all I did was help.
