Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the percentage of consumers who are male and prefer Pentax, we need to look at the intersection of the "Male" column and the "Pentax" row, which is 41. Then we divide by the total number of survey respondents, which is 623, and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
(41/623) x 100 ≈ 6.6%
Therefore, the answer is B, 6.6%.
