    The answer would be 16%. If you add 630 and 120 you would get 750. Put 120 over 750 in fraction form. Multiply 100 by 120 and you would get 1200. Then divide 1200 by 750 and you will get 16/100 or 16%

    First we need to know how many people were asked - 120 + 630 = 750 people

    Now we make fractions - 120/750 and 630/750

    Divide the fractions - 120/750 = 0.16 and 630/750 = 0.84

    Multiply the results by 100 so we can get the percentage - 0.16 x 100 = 16% and 0.84 x 100 = 84%

    The percentage of people that like playing golf is 16%.
