Beyond the Answer
To solve this problem, we can break it down as follows: **a. What percentage of the criminals pled guilty?** To find the percentage of criminals who pled guilty, divide the number of guilty pleas by the total number of criminals and multiply by 100. \[ \text{Percentage pled guilty} = \left( \frac{959}{1035} \right) \times 100 \approx 92.6\% \] So, rounding to the nearest tenth, that would be \( \boxed{92.7\%} \). **b. What percentage of the criminals were sent to prison?** To find the percentage of criminals sent to prison, sum the number of criminals sentenced to prison (396 guilty + 52 not guilty) and divide by the total number of criminals. \[ \text{Total sent to prison} = 396 + 52 = 448 \text{Percentage sent to prison} = \left( \frac{448}{1035} \right) \times 100 \approx 43.3\% \] So, rounding to the nearest tenth, that would be \( \boxed{43.3\%} \). **c. Among those who pled guilty, what is the percentage who were sent to prison?** Here, we just need to divide the number of guilty individuals sentenced to prison by the total number who pled guilty and multiply by 100. \[ \text{Percentage of guilty pleas sent to prison} = \left( \frac{396}{959} \right) \times 100 \approx 41.3\% \] So, rounding to the nearest tenth, that would be \( \boxed{41.2\%} \).
