Correct Answer: 242.86%

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let us analyze the given information step-by-step for the three streaming services: Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video.

1. Number of students using both Hulu and Prime Video only:
It is given that the number of students who use both Hulu and Prime Video only is 30.

Students using Hulu and Prime Video only=30

2. Number of students using only Netflix:
The problem states that 30 is double the number of students who use only Netflix. Therefore:

Students using only Netflix=302=15

3. Number of students using only Hulu:
The ratio of students who use only Netflix to those who use only Hulu is 5:4. Let Honly represent the number of students using only Hulu:

15Honly=54

Solving for Honly:

Honly=15×45=12

4. Number of students using both Netflix and Prime Video only:
This quantity is 40% more than the number of students who use both Hulu and Prime Video only (30):

Students using Netflix and Prime Video only=30+(0.40×30)=30+12=42

5. Number of students using all three services:
It is given that 21 students use all three services (Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video).

Students using all three services=21

6. Total number of students using both Hulu and Prime Video:
The total number of students using both Hulu and Prime Video is the sum of students using Hulu and Prime Video only and students using all three services:

Total students using both Hulu and Prime Video=30+21=51

7. Percentage Calculation:
We need to find what percentage the total number of students using both Hulu and Prime Video (51) is of the number of students using all three services (21):

Percentage=5121×100

Simplifying the calculation:

Percentage=17007%242.857%242.86%

Thus, the total number of students who use both Hulu and Prime Video is 242.86% of the number of students who use all three streaming services together.
