Completing the frequency table, and using the percentage concept, it is found that 11% of students under age 15 travel to school by car.

What is a percentage?

  • The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

[tex]P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%[/tex]

In this problem:

  • A total of 152 students go to school by walk/bike, 65 Age 15 and above, hence 152 - 65 = 87 under Age 15.
  • 165 are under age 15, and of those, 165 - (87 + 60) = 18 go to school by car.

Hence:

[tex]P = \frac{18}{165} \times 100\% = 11\%[/tex]

Then, 11% of students under age 15 travel to school by car.
