Now, percentage of the people who like playing golf is
[tex]Required \%=\dfrac{\text{Number of people who like playing golf}}{\text{Total number people in poll}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]Required \%=\dfrac{20}{100}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]Required \%=20[/tex]
Therefore, 20% of the people like playing golf.
