Question
### Student Music Preferences Poll

Students at a high school were polled to determine the type of music they preferred. There were 1950 students who completed the poll. Their responses are represented in the circle graph below.

#### Poll Question: 
What percent of students preferred rap music?

### Circle Graph Description
The circle graph is divided into six segments, each representing a different music preference among the students. Here are the details:

- **Rap:** 913 students (yellow segment)
- **Alternative:** 473 students (cyan segment)
- **Rock and Roll:** 272 students (red segment)
- **Country:** 180 students (purple segment)
- **Jazz:** 30 students (green segment)
- **Other:** 82 students (magenta segment)

### Calculation
To determine what percent of students preferred rap music:

\[ 
\text{Percent} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of students who preferred rap}}{\text{Total number of students}}\right) \times 100 
\]

\[ 
\text{Percent} = \left(\frac{913}{1950}\right) \times 100 
\]

Therefore:

\[ 
\text{Percent} = \left(\frac{913}{1950}\right) \times 100 \approx 46.8\% 
\]

About **46.8%** of the students who completed the poll preferred rap music. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
