Let’s solve this step by step using the pie chart.

First, look at the pie chart titled “Favorite Sport”. It shows how many students like each sport, broken into percentages:

- Baseball: 25%
- Football: 30%
- Volleyball: 15%
- Soccer: 10%
- Swimming: 20%

Total = 25 + 30 + 15 + 10 + 20 = 100% → That checks out.

Now let’s answer each question one by one.

---

Question 1: What percentage of the students like baseball the best?

Look at the pie chart — Baseball is labeled as 25%.

✔ Answer: 25%

---

Question 2: How many students prefer swimming?

We need to know the total number of students. The problem says: “We asked a group of students...” but doesn’t say how many. Wait — look again! In the pie chart, next to each slice, it gives both percent AND actual numbers!

Check the slices:

- Baseball: 25% → 75 students
- Football: 30% → 90 students
- Volleyball: 15% → 45 students
- Soccer: 10% → 30 students
- Swimming: 20% → 60 students

So for swimming, it directly says 60 students.

✔ Answer: 60

Question 3: What fraction of the students likes football or baseball the most?

Football = 30%, Baseball = 25%. Together = 30 + 25 = 55%

But they want a fraction, not a percent.

55% means 55 out of 100 → so fraction is 55/100.

Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 5 → 11/20.

✔ Answer: 11/20

Question 4: How many students do not like volleyball the most?

Volleyball = 45 students (from chart).

Total students? Let’s add them up:

Baseball: 75
Football: 90
Volleyball: 45
Soccer: 30
Swimming: 60

Total = 75 + 90 = 165; 165 + 45 = 210; 210 + 30 = 240; 240 + 60 = 300 students total

Students who do NOT like volleyball = Total - Volleyball = 300 - 45 = 255

✔ Answer: 255

Question 5: How many students like tennis or football the most?

Wait — look at the pie chart. There is NO “tennis” listed!

The sports are: Baseball, Football, Volleyball, Soccer, Swimming.

Tennis is not in the chart. So maybe this is a trick? Or typo?

But wait — perhaps “tennis” was meant to be “soccer”? Because soccer is there.

Or maybe it’s testing if you notice tennis isn’t an option.

Actually, looking back — the image has a picture of a tennis racket and ball, but the pie chart does NOT include tennis. So probably, “tennis” is not part of the data.

That means: number of students who like tennis = 0.

Football = 90 students.

So tennis OR football = 0 + 90 = 90

✔ Answer: 90

*(Note: If the question meant “soccer”, then soccer=30, football=90 → 120. But since it says “tennis”, and tennis isn’t in the chart, we go with 0.)*

Question 6: How many students were asked about their favorite sport?

We already calculated this above: total students = 75 + 90 + 45 + 30 + 60 = 300

✔ Answer: 300
