When calculating the average of percentages, it is important to weight them by the size of the sample that responded to the question. This is because the percentages represent a proportion of the sample that responded to the question, and a larger sample size will have a greater impact on the overall average percentage. It is not necessary to always report percentages in descending order or to include the percentage who do not answer a question.
