Part (ii) :

Divide the total number of boys by the grand total. Express your answer as a decimal and as a percent.

100/200  =  0.50  =  50%

Part (iii) :

Divide the total number of girls by the grand total. Express your answer as a decimal and as a percent.

100/200  =  0.50  =  50%

Part (iv) :

Divide the total number of students who prefer bus by the grand total. Express your answer as a decimal and as a percent.
