C Correct answer
Explanation

Total schools with science labs = 32 (with computer) + 8 (without computer) = 40. The number of schools with science labs but no computer labs is 8. The percentage is (8 / 40) * 100 = 20.0%.

AI explanation

To find the percentage, we use the formula (Target Group / Total Group) * 100, where the total group is all schools that have science labs. The table shows that schools with science labs total 32 with computer labs and 8 without computer labs, giving a total of 40 schools. The percentage of these schools without computer labs is (8 / 40) * 100 = 20.0%.
