Step 1: Find the Arts and Crafts percentage. All five percentages must add to 100%. Arts and Crafts = 100% - 15% - 30% - 25% - 20% = 10% Step 2: Find which activity equals exactly 3 x Arts and Crafts. 3 x 10% = 30% Step 3: Identify the activity with 30%. Sports = 30% Verify: 30% / 10% = 3 Answer: Sports
