Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the total number of customers surveyed
Add the number of customers in each age group. Under 17 is 25. 18-24 is 35. 25-34 is 40. 35-50 is 35. Over 50 is 25. Total is 25 + 35 + 40 + 35 + 25 = 160.
Step 2: Calculate the percentage of customers aged 18-24
Divide the number of customers aged 18-24 by the total number of customers and multiply by 100. (35/160) * 100 = 21.875
