Answer:

30% of them preferred hab juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A survey of all beings on planet Tott found that 12 beings preferred hab juice to all other juices.

40 beings were surveyed altogether.

Now, to find percent of them preferred hab juice.

Total beings surveyed = 40.

Number of beings preferred hab juice = 12.

So, to get the percent:

[tex]\frac{Total\ beings\ surveyed}{Number\ of\ beings\ preferred\ hab\ juice} \times 100.[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{12}{40} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]=0.3\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=30\%.[/tex]

Therefore, 30% of them preferred hab juice.
