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}{|l|c|c|}
\hline Type of animal & \begin{tabular}{c}
Number of zoo \\
attendees
\end{tabular} & Percentage \\
\hline Elephant & 648 & [tex]$27\%$[/tex] \\
\hline Panda & 288 & [tex]$12\%$[/tex] \\
\hline Tiger & 408 & [tex]$17\%$[/tex] \\
\hline Bonobo & 264 & \\
\hline Iguana & 792 & \\
\hline
\end{tabular}



Answer :

Sure, let's find the percentages for the Bonobo and Iguana categories, whose values are not given in the table.

1. Bonobo Category:
- Number of zoo attendees who chose Bonobo: 264
- Total number of zoo attendees: 2400
- The percentage of zoo attendees who chose Bonobo can be found by using the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of attendees for Bonobo}}{\text{Total number of attendees}} \right) \times 100 \][/tex]
- Plugging in the values:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{264}{2400} \right) \times 100 = 11\% \][/tex]
- So, the percentage for the Bonobo category is 11%.

2. Iguana Category:
- Number of zoo attendees who chose Iguana: 792
- Total number of zoo attendees: 2400
- The percentage of zoo attendees who chose Iguana can be found by using the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of attendees for Iguana}}{\text{Total number of attendees}} \right) \times 100 \][/tex]
- Plugging in the values:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{792}{2400} \right) \times 100 = 33\% \][/tex]
- So, the percentage for the Iguana category is 33%.

Now, let’s complete the table with these calculated percentages:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|} \hline Type of animal & \begin{tabular}{c} Number of zoo \\ attendees \end{tabular} & Percentage \\ \hline Elephant & 648 & 27\% \\ \hline Panda & 288 & 12\% \\ \hline Tiger & 408 & 17\% \\ \hline Bonobo & 264 & 11\% \\ \hline Iguana & 792 & 33\% \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

With these calculations, our table is now complete with all the necessary percentages filled in.
