Answer 1

Percentage of Yes = # of Yes / Total #

Percentage of No = # of No / Total #

Percentage of Don't know  = # of Don't know / Total #

Answer 2

Rurals out of Total Rurals

Yes = 47% (rounded to the nearest percent)

No  = 35% ("                                                   ")

Don't Know = 19% (rounded to the nearest percent)

Urbans out of Total Urbans

Yes = 28% (rounded to the nearest percent)

No  = 57% (rounded to the nearest percent)

Don't Know = 15% (rounded to the nearest percent)

Yes out of Total Yes's

Rural = 63% (rounded to the nearest percent)

Urban = 37% (rounded to the nearest percent)

No's out of Total No's

Rural = 39% (exactly!)

Urban = 61% (exactly!)

Don't Know's out of Total Don't Know's

Rural = 57% (rounded to the nearest percent)

Urban = 43% (rounded to the nearest percent)

Telling u the answers wouldn't be so good in the future cuz u still wouldn't be able to create percentages. So, I'm gonna tell u HOW to create percentages.

First, get a number. For example in ur "table", there're 263 rurals out of 564 rurals that plan to migrate again. To find the percentage of how many rurals plan to migrate, divide 263 by 564, then multiply the result by 100. And, ta-daa! There's the answer u've been looking for!

Hope I helped!

Answer 3

all you do is take the rural divided by the total.  then take the urban divided by the total.

example.  263/415 = 63.37%  and 152/415 = 36.63%

and so on

Answer 4

As with any percentage you take the part you want to know the percentage of and divide by the total, then multipy by 100.

I will do the first one for you.

263/415=0.6337*100=63.4% rural are planning to move

152/425=0.3663*100=36.6% urban are planning to move

That is assuming that you need to know the percentage of people that are moving that live in a rural area and not the percentage of people that live in a rural area total if that makes any sense.

The other way would be like this

263/564=0.4664*100=46.6%

152/537=0.2831*100=28.3%

Hope this helps
