Solution
Solution Steps
To determine the percentage of North Carolina counties without abortion clinics, we need to calculate the percentage of counties that do not have clinics based on the given options. We will assume that the total number of counties is known, and we will use the given percentages to find the correct answer.
Step 1: Define Total Counties
Let the total number of counties in North Carolina be \( N = 100 \).
Step 2: Calculate Counties Without Clinics
We calculate the number of counties without abortion clinics for each given percentage:
For \( 14\% \):
\[
\text{Counties without clinics} = N \times \frac{14}{100} = 14.0000
\]
For \( 36\% \):
\[
\text{Counties without clinics} = N \times \frac{36}{100} = 36.0000
\]
For \( 53\% \):
\[
\text{Counties without clinics} = N \times \frac{53}{100} = 53.0000
\]
For \( 90\% \):
\[
\text{Counties without clinics} = N \times \frac{90}{100} = 90.0000
\]
Step 3: Summarize Results
The number of counties without clinics corresponding to each percentage is:
\( 14\% \) corresponds to \( 14.0000 \) counties.
\( 36\% \) corresponds to \( 36.0000 \) counties.
\( 53\% \) corresponds to \( 53.0000 \) counties.
\( 90\% \) corresponds to \( 90.0000 \) counties.
Final Answer
The answer is \( 14\% \) of counties without clinics corresponds to \( 14 \) counties, \( 36\% \) corresponds to \( 36 \) counties, and \( 53\% \) corresponds to \( 53 \) counties.
