The percentages have been calculated correctly, it's just that the wrong percentages have been calculated.
Take Q1. At the moment, the answers are A: 6 (24%), B: 4 (16%), C: 2 (8%), D: 5 (20%), E: 6 (24%), F: 2 (8%)
6 + 4 + 2 + 5 + 6 + 2 = 25. The percentages therefore are: 6/25 = 24%, 4/25 = 15%, etc...
But yes, it would be more interesting for the percentage to be the percentage of respondants who selected the option, rather than the percentage of the total number of responses to the question.
