A nationwide poll of students, parents, and teachers showed that over 90 percent believe that an appropriate percentage of their school's budget is being spent on student counseling programs. It seems, then that any significant increase in a school's budget should be spent on something other than student counseling programs.
Which one of the following describes a flaw in the reasoning of the argument above?
The right answer: The argument confuses the percentage of the budget spent on a program with the overall amount spent on that program.
The problem is: I didn't see the flaw. Where is it?
yes, this answer is right.
the premise states that people think the percentage of counseling is appropriate percentage. conclusion so no mare money should spend on counseling.
so it confuses the total number and percentage.
The flaw is mistake percentage with amount. You can have a very high percentage out of some total, but the amount might be very tiny.
