The given set of data represents the number of applications received by The Commerce Department for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award:

23 from large manufacturing firms

18 from large service firms

30 from small businesses.

 

Total number of applications = 23 + 28 + 30

= 81

 

The percentage of the applications from small businesses = (Number of applications from small businesses ÷ Total number of applications) * 100%

= (30 ÷ 81) 100%

= 37.0% (to 1 decimal)
