Thus, the percentage of males surveyed that listen to the station is 
.
Soulution 2
Instead of filling out the entire chart, you can find the number of male listeners which is 200 - 96 = 104. Since we know the fraction of males that don't listen to the station is 
, we know that the percent of males that DO listen is much larger than 50%, so the only answer is 
.
