Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the percentage of students who did well on the midterm and went bar hopping, we need to look at the intersection of the "did well" column and the "bar hopping" row, which gives us 24. Dividing 24 by the total number of students who did well (88) and multiplying by 100 gives us 27.27%.
