22% 52.4% 42% 40.7%

Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant values

We want the percent of student attendees who saw an action - movie. The number of student attendees who saw an action movie is 77, and the total number of student attendees is 147.

Step2: Calculate the percentage

The formula for percentage is $\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Total}}\times100\%$. So, the percentage is $\frac{77}{147}\times 100\%$.
$\frac{77}{147}\times100\%=\frac{7700}{147}\approx 52.4\%$

Answer:

52.4%
