To determine the percentage of men in the class, follow these steps:
1. Find the total number of students:
The total number of students is given as 32.
2. Determine the number of women students:
The number of women students is given as 9.
3. Calculate the number of men students:
Subtract the number of women students from the total number of students:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of men students} = \text{Total students} - \text{Number of women students} = 32 - 9 = 23
\][/tex]
4. Find the fraction of the class that represents the men:
Divide the number of men students by the total number of students:
[tex]\[
\text{Fraction of men} = \frac{\text{Number of men students}}{\text{Total students}} = \frac{23}{32}
\][/tex]
5. Convert the fraction to a percentage:
Multiply the fraction by 100:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage of men} = \left(\frac{23}{32}\right) \times 100 = 71.875\%
\][/tex]
6. Round the percentage to the nearest tenth:
The percentage of men calculated is 71.875%. When rounded to the nearest tenth, it becomes 71.9%.
Thus, the percentage of men in the class is [tex]\( 71.9\% \)[/tex].
