How to determine the percentage?

The music type and the preference are given as:

Music Preferences

Rap            945

Alternative 462

Rock and Roll 275

Country         168

Jazz              15

Other          85

From the above table, we have:

Alternative = 462

Total = 945 + 462 + 275 + 168 + 15 + 85

Total = 1950

The percentage is then calculated as:

Percentage = Alternative/Total * 100%

This gives

Percentage = 462/1950 * 100%

Evaluate

Percentage = 23.7%

Hence, the percent of students that preferred alternative ​music is 23.7%
