Question
Alonzo ran for president of the chess club, and he received 27 votes. There were 36 members in the club. What percentage of the club members voted for Alonzo?
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.
-
Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage. So, 0.75 times 100 equals 75.
So, 75% of the club members voted for Alonzo.
