Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage of underclassmen interested in taking a Mandarin course next year, find the marginal frequency for the total number of underclassmen who showed interest in Mandarin. There are 145 underclassmen who showed interest in Mandarin courses.

Find the total number of underclassmen who were polled. This number is located at the intersection of the marginal frequency row and marginal frequency column. There are 620 underclassmen who were polled in the survey.

Calculate the approximate percentage of underclassmen interested in taking a Mandarin course next year.
