Jerome surveyed 643 skateboarders and found that 209 of them preferred wood skateboards to plastic or aluminum skateboards. Based on the number of people surveyed, what is the most reasonable estimation of the percent of skateboarders who preferred wood skateboards?

A. 10%
B. 30%
C. 40%
D. 50%

30% , as: Let the percentage of people preferring wooden skateboards be 'x'. Therefore, x/100 643=209 x/100=209/643 x=209 100/643 x=20900/643 x=32.50....... By rounding it off to 30, we get 30% as answer.
