Would it be ok to mention big percentage first

[icedcoffee]

Hi everyone, 

 

I've written this in my research paper:

 

80% said “very much” (n=4) while 20% said “somewhat” (n=1).

 

Is it ok to mention the big percentage first?

Also, is it ok to add the number of participants, even though I already added the percentage?

I wouldn't even use percentages if your sample is that small.

Since the numbers are so small, I would probably not use the percentages at all. However, if you do use them I think you should also give the raw counts to avoid any misconceptions about the size of your sample.

Thank you everyone!
