To find the percentage of the boys that like Vanilla ice cream, you will create a fraction of the number of boys that like vanilla, out of the total number of boys that were surveyed.

Divide to use to make to a decimal.

38/79 = 0.48 or about 48%

For the girls that like chocolate, do the same thing. Total number of girls liking chocolate out of total number of girls surveyed.

33/73 = 0.45 or about 45%
