Answer:
32.5% female
67.5% male
Explanation:
To find a percentage, you need your total.
To find your total, add the amount of men and the amount of women.
[tex]162+78=240[/tex]
240 total people were enrolled in chemistry at that high school.
Next, to solve for your percentage of female participants, divide the amount of women by your total.
[tex]\frac{78}{240} =32.5[/tex]
32.5% were women. Do the same with your male participants for your male percentage.
[tex]\frac{162}{240} =67.5[/tex]
67.5% were men.
