Question
Solution
To find the percentage of club members who voted for Alonzo, you need to divide the number of votes Alonzo received by the total number of members and then multiply the result by 100.
Here are the steps:
-
Divide the number of votes Alonzo received by the total number of members. In this case, that's 27 divided by 36, which equals 0.75.
