Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total students who chose Broadway

Add the number of girls and boys who chose Broadway. $68 + 79=147$.

Step2: Calculate the percentage of girls who chose Broadway

Use the formula $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Number of girls who chose Broadway}}{\text{Total students who chose Broadway}}\times100$. So, $\frac{68}{147}\times 100\approx 46.26\approx46$.

Answer:

(3) 46
