Tanya Hatfield · Answer 1

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1997 U. S. House of Representatives there were 222 Republicans, 204 Democrats, 2 Independents, and 7 undecided.

So total number in the House = 222 + 204 + 2 + 7

= 435

Total number who is neither Republican nor Democrat = 2 + 7

= 9

Percentage of the total is neither Republican nor Democrat

= 9 / 435 * 100%

= 2.1%
