publish date: 2026/05/25 21:45:52.943063 UTC
A survey of student housing arrangements shows that \(40\%\) of students live in Dormitories, \(35\%\) live in Off-Campus Apartments, and \(15\%\) live at Home with parents. The remaining students live in Greek Housing. What percentage of students live in Greek Housing?
Answer = (1)
Correct Answer
(1) 10
Explanation
The components of a complete circle graph must sum to exactly \(100\%\). To find the missing value:
\[ \text{Percentage} = 100\% - (40\% + 35\% + 15\%) = 100\% - 90\% = 10\% \]
