![To calculate the percentage of 6th graders who prefer dramas, we first need to find the total number of 6th graders surveyed.
The numbers of preferences are as follows:
- Superhero: 18
- Comedy: 12
- Drama: 6
First, we find the total number of 6th graders surveyed:
\[
\text{Total for 6th grade} = 18 + 12 + 6 = 36
\]
Next, we find the number of 6th graders who prefer dramas, which is given as 6.
Now, we can calculate the percentage of 6th graders who prefer dramas:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \](https://theinternetioimages-f2htc2ggcrath6d7.z01.azurefd.net/$web/askai/92ecd1d8-597b-4171-ba2e-7e1a48d146fe.webp)

Question: A random sample of students was surveyed and asked to list their grade level and what movie genre they prefer. Results are shown in the table below. Movie Genre Grade Superhero Comedy Drama 6th grade 18 12 6 7th Grade 17 14 12 8th Grade 11 15 14 What percent of the 6th graders prefer dramas? Round your answer to the nearest whole number percent.
Let's break down the problem step by step: First, find **how many 6th graders were surveyed**: \[ 18 \text{ (Superhero)} + 12 \text{ (Comedy)} + 6 \text{ (Drama)} = 36 \] Next, see **how many 6th graders prefer drama**: - **6** students. Now, calculate the percentage: \[ \frac{6}{36} \times 100 = 16.666... \% \] Rounding to the nearest whole number percent: \[ \boxed{17\%} \] **So, 17% of the 6th graders prefer dramas.**
