To determine the percentage of students who like rap and are in grades 9-10, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the relevant data:
- Number of students in grades 9-10 who like rap: [tex]\( 40 \)[/tex]
- Total number of students who like rap: [tex]\( 105 \)[/tex]
2. Calculate the percentage:
- The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of students in grades 9-10 who like rap by the total number of students who like rap.
- The formula for this calculation is:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of students who like rap in grades 9-10}}{\text{Total number of students who like rap}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
- Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{40}{105} \right) \times 100 \approx 38.095238095238095
\][/tex]
3. Round to the nearest whole percent:
- Rounding [tex]\( 38.095238095238095 \)[/tex] to the nearest whole number gives [tex]\( 38 \)[/tex].
Therefore, the percentage of students that like rap and are also in grades 9-10 is [tex]\( 38\% \)[/tex].
Thus, the correct answer is [tex]\( 38\% \)[/tex].
