Answer 11

thanks

Answer 12

it's not 32 it's 170

Answer 13

thanks for your help

Answer 14

Well the total would need to add up to 100% including the museum goers.
100%=18% + 25% +25% + x% Where x% is the percentage of museum goers.
x%=100%-18%-25%-25%
x%= 100%-68%
x%=32%

Answer 15

That might be a way to write it up, providing you understand the sequence (which I believe you do)

Answer 16

yes thanks you so much

Answer 17
