Explanation:

Step1: Find total cruises in July

Total cruises in July = On - time + Delayed = $126 + 32 = 158$

Step2: Calculate percentage of delayed cruises

Percentage = $\frac{\text{Delayed}}{\text{Total}} \times 100=\frac{32}{158} \times 100$
Calculate $\frac{32}{158}\approx0.2025$, then $0.2025\times100 = 20.25\%$, round to one decimal place is $20.3\%$

Answer:

$20.3\%$
