A zoo has some new exhibits. In a survey, 2400 zoo attendees are asked to choose their favorite. The results are shown in the following table.

(a) Find the percentage for each type of animal.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
Type of Animal & Number of Zoo Attendees & Percentage \\
\hline
Elephant & 648 & [tex]$\square \%$[/tex] \\
\hline
Panda & 288 & [tex]$\square \%$[/tex] \\
\hline
Tiger & 408 & [tex]$\square \%$[/tex] \\
\hline
Bonobo & 264 & [tex]$\square \%$[/tex] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}



Answer :

To find the percentage for each type of animal based on the survey of 2400 zoo attendees, we first need to divide the number of attendees who chose each type of animal by the total number of attendees, and then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage.

Let's calculate each percentage step by step:

1. Elephant:
- Number of attendees who chose Elephant: 648
- Total number of attendees: 2400
- Percentage for Elephant = [tex]\(\left(\frac{648}{2400}\right) \times 100\)[/tex]

2. Panda:
- Number of attendees who chose Panda: 288
- Total number of attendees: 2400
- Percentage for Panda = [tex]\(\left(\frac{288}{2400}\right) \times 100\)[/tex]

3. Tiger:
- Number of attendees who chose Tiger: 408
- Total number of attendees: 2400
- Percentage for Tiger = [tex]\(\left(\frac{408}{2400}\right) \times 100\)[/tex]

4. Bonobo:
- Number of attendees who chose Bonobo: 264
- Total number of attendees: 2400
- Percentage for Bonobo = [tex]\(\left(\frac{264}{2400}\right) \times 100\)[/tex]

Now, let's fill in the percentages:

1. Elephant:
- Percentage for Elephant = 27%

2. Panda:
- Percentage for Panda = 12%

3. Tiger:
- Percentage for Tiger = 17%

4. Bonobo:
- Percentage for Bonobo = 11%

So, the completed table with percentages is:

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
Type of animal & \begin{tabular}{c}
Number of zoo \\
attendees
\end{tabular} & Percentage \\
\hline
Elephant & 648 & 27\% \\
\hline
Panda & 288 & 12\% \\
\hline
Tiger & 408 & 17\% \\
\hline
Bonobo & 264 & 11\% \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

This concludes the detailed step-by-step calculation of the percentages for each type of animal based on the survey data.
