Answer

72% students likes to read .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the percent of student likes to read be x.

As given

A survey reveals 252 out of 350 students in 7th grade like to read.

As Percent is always from 100 percent .

Thus

x is from 100 in case of proportions.

252 students are from 350 students .

Therefore the proportion equations becomes

x : 100 :: 252 : 350

[tex]\frac{x}{100}= \frac{252}{350}[/tex]

Simplify the above

[tex]x= \frac{252\times 100}{350}[/tex]

[tex]x= \frac{25200}{350}[/tex]

x = 72%

Therefore 72% students likes to read .
