Answer

a. 162.26 b. No c. 162 d. 7%

Work Step by Step

a. To find this percentage of people you simply multiply 38 by 427 ... ( 16226).. and divide that by 100. Which gives you 162.26 b. No because 162.26 is a decimal number and for this, only whole numbers will be the outcome. c. 162.26 rounded to the nearest whole number is 397. Therefore the result was 162 adults. d. To turn 30 out of 427 into a percentage, multiply 30 by 100... ( 3000)... then divide that by 427. Therefore it is 7%
