Questions: percentage of the students plan to go to graduate school

Solution Steps

To find the percentage of students who plan to go to graduate school, we need to divide the number of students who answered "Yes" by the total number of students and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

The total number of students who plan to go to graduate school is given as: \[ \text{students\_yes} = 140 \]

The total number of students is given as: \[ \text{total\_students} = 400 \]

The percentage of students who plan to go to graduate school is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{percentage\_yes} = \left( \frac{\text{students\_yes}}{\text{total\_students}} \right) \times 100 \]

Substituting the given values: \[ \text{percentage\_yes} = \left( \frac{140}{400} \right) \times 100 = 35.0 \]
