Answer: 32.08%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a survey of 720 adults nationwide asked, "What irks them most about the actions of other motorists? and the response "tailgaters" was given by 231 people.

The percentage of people that responded with tailgaters will be the number of people who responded with tailgaters divided by the total survey of adults asked and then multiplying by 100. This can be mathematically written as:

= 231/720 * 100

= 32.08%
