Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant values

From the table:

• Number of students who like country and are in grades 9-10: $55$
• Total number of students who like country: $90$

Step2: Calculate the percentage

Divide the relevant subset by the total, then multiply by 100.
$\text{Percentage} = \frac{55}{90} \times 100$

Step3: Compute and round

Calculate the value: $\frac{55}{90} \times 100 \approx 61.11\%$, round to the nearest whole percent: $61\%$

Answer:

61% (corresponding to the option labeled 61%)
