there are 78 female and 54 male patrons at a local diner. What percentage of the patrons are female>

To calculate the percentage of female patrons, use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage of females} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of females}}{\text{Total number of patrons}} \right) \times 100
\]

Given:
- Number of female patrons = 78
- Number of male patrons = 54

First, find the total number of patrons:

\[
\text{Total patrons} = 78 + 54 = 132
\]

Now, calculate the percentage:

\[
\text{Percentage of females} = \left( \frac{78}{132} \right) \times 100 \approx 59.09\%
\]

So, approximately **59.09%** of the patrons are female.
