Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We need to calculate 20% of 100.
2. We need to determine which category corresponds to 25% of 192 students.

STEP 2

1. Calculate 20% of 100.
2. Determine 25% of 192 students.
3. Identify the category that matches the calculated number of students.

STEP 3

Calculate 20% of 100:
20%×100=20100×100=20 20\% \times 100 = \frac{20}{100} \times 100 = 20

STEP 4

Calculate 25% of 192 students:
25%×192=25100×192=48 25\% \times 192 = \frac{25}{100} \times 192 = 48

STEP 5

Refer to the table to find the category with 48 students. According to the table:
- Music: 48 - Reality: 44 - Comedy: 41 - Sports: 36 - Drama: 23
The category with 48 students is Music.
