Out of the 180 students at a summer camp, 72 signed up for canoeing. There were 23 students who signed up for trekking, and 13 of those students also signed up for canoeing. Use a two-way table to organize the information and answer the following question: Approximately what percentage of students signed up for neither canoeing nor trekking? 72% 40% 54% 98% Last one and then I am done!!! ^~^

We want to find the number of people who went canoeing or trekking so we add them up and subtract the 13 72+23-13= people who signed up for canoeing or trekking (an activity)

Right so thats the number of students, not a percentage To find percentage divide it by the total amount $$\%=\large \frac{part}{total}$$
