80+126 = 206 = 100%
80/206 = 0.388, i.e. 38.8%
126/206 = 0.612, i.e. 61.2%


therefore,

NO: 80 people= 38.8%
YES: 126 people= 61.2%
Error corrected! ;-)

Add 126 and 80, which is 206, then divide 80 and 126 by 206 to get the percents.

80/206 (80+126) = 39%

126/206 = 61%

the total number of the people are: 206

for the NO people
just divide how many people said no by the total number of people. which is 80/206=.388 aprox. 39 %

for the yes people
divide how many said YES by the total number of people. which is 126/206=.611 aprox. 61%

The answer is
No: 80 people= 39%
Yes: 126 people= 61%

Total people polled = 206
"No"---80 = 38%
"Yes"--126 = 62%

the error may be in the transcribing, since :
80 is 40 percent of 280
and
200 is 60 percent of 280
its possible the "206" was typed wrong and meant to be "200"

total people=206
to calculate % , just take the number of people in each category, divide it by the total and multiply by 100
NO: 80/206*100=38.8%
YES:126/206*100=61.2%

206 people total 80/206x100 andd 125/206x100
