Answer 1

total adult dieters = 81.5

for midwest region,the percentage is = (adult present control diet(midwest region)/adult present control diet(total)) * 100

= (15.1/81.5)*100 = 18.5276.736%

for northeast region,the percentage is = (adult present control diet(northeast region)/adult present control diet(total))*100

=(16.7/81.5)*100 = 20.49079755%

for south region,the percentage is = (adult present control diet(south region)/adult present control diet(total))*100

=(31.9/81.5)*100 = 39.14110429%

for west region,the percentage is = (adult present control diet(west region)/adult present control diet(total))*100

= (17.8/81.5)*100 = 21.8404908%

index value for different regions -------

for midwest region = 17.8

for northeast region = 17.4

for south region = 36

for west region = 15.9
