Answer 1

Given data:

The numbers of student like comedies are c=12.

The numbers of student like drama are d=18.

The numbers of student like documentaries are D=13.

The numbers of student like new program are n=7.

The expression for the perecentage of the students who like comedies is,

$p=\frac{c}{c+d+D+n}\times100$

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

$\begin{gathered} p=\frac{12}{(12+18+13+7)}\times100 \\ =24\text{ percentage} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the perecentage of the students who like comedies is 24%.
