The total number of girls who prefer hockey is 46.
The total number of students is 15 (boys who prefer basketball) + 10 (boys who prefer hockey) + 9 (girls who prefer basketball) + 46 (girls who prefer hockey) = 80
To calculate the percentage of girls who prefer hockey, we divide the number of girls who prefer hockey (46) by the total number of students (80) and multiply by 100:
(46/80) * 100 = 57.5%
So, approximately 57.5% of the students were girls who prefer hockey.
