Swimming 36%  or 9 students

Lacrosse 48%  or 12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

To do a circle graph, you draw a circle and divide it into all sections.

To know the size of each section, you need to know the total number of every category.

You could draw it with percent.

100% is total, and you know the percent of each sport.

They told you 12 students choose lacrosse so, this represents 48%.

Now, you can find the other numbers with cross-multiplication.

100%X=

X=(100x12)/48=25

Total students: 25

Students that named lacrosse: 12 or 48%

100%25

16%X=

X=(16x25)/100=4

Students that named Volleyball: 4 or 16%

100%25

36%X=

X=(36x25)/100=9

Students that named Swimming: 9 or 36%

To confirm: 12 + 9 + 4 = 25

the answer is a
