It’s easy to calculate percentages based on total number of participants. Let’s say I had a total of 25 people respond to percentages based on total number of participants. Let’s say I had a total of 25 people respond to my survey. I would simply divide the number of responses in each block by 25 which would give me my survey. I would simply divide the number of responses in each block by 25 which would give me a percentage of how many feel that way. The example below shows 8 respondents strongly agreed a percentage of how many feel that way. The example below shows 8 respondents strongly agreed which is 32% with Q1 and 15 agreed which is 60% and 2 disagreed which is 8%. I can safely which is 32% with Q1 and 15 agreed which is 60% and 2 disagreed which is 8%.
