    AQA GCSE · Question 17.2

    The questionnaire was answered by 671 females.

    What percentage of females mentioned experiencing stigma about their mental health problem as a difficulty they had to deal with in their day?

    State your answer using three significant figures and show your workings.

    How to approach this question

    1. Find the number of females who mentioned stigma from the table (128). 2. Find the total number of females who answered the questionnaire from the question (671). 3. Use the formula for percentage: (Part / Whole) x 100. 4. Calculate (128 / 671) x 100. 5. Round your final answer to three significant figures.

    Full Answer

    Workings: (Number of females mentioning stigma / Total number of females) x 100 = (128 / 671) x 100 = 0.19076... x 100 = 19.076... % Answer: 19.1 %
    This is a percentage calculation question. You need to identify the 'part' (the number of females who mentioned stigma, which is 128 from the table) and the 'whole' (the total number of female participants, which is 671 from the question text). The calculation is (128 ÷ 671) * 100 = 19.07600596...%. The question requires the answer to be given to three significant figures. The first three significant figures are 1, 9, and 0. The next digit is 7, which is 5 or greater, so we round the last significant figure (0) up to 1. The final answer is 19.1%.

    Common mistakes

    Common mistakes include dividing the wrong numbers (e.g., 671/128), calculation errors, or incorrect rounding. Forgetting to round to three significant figures is a frequent error.
