    Answer: 84%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    112 grocery shoppers bought a candy bar and 588 grocery shoppers did not.

    Number of grocery shoppers that bought candy bar = 112

    Number of grocery shoppers that did not buy candy bar = 588

    Total number of grocery shoppers = 112+588 = 700

    Percentage of shoppers did not buy a candy bar = 588/700 * 100

    = 0.84 * 100

    = 84%

    0.84 = 84%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First we need to find the total number of grocery shoppers.

    If 112 bought a candy bar and 588 did not, the total number of grocery shoppers is:

    588 + 112 = 700

    Now, to calculate the percentage of grocery shoppers that didn't buy a candy bar, we make a division between the number of grocery shoppers that didn't buy a candy bar and the total number of grocery shoppers:

    588 / 700 = 0.84 = 84%
