Answer 2

45%

Explanation:

She receives 72 of a total of 160 votes, so we must find what percentage represents the 72 votes out of 160.

What we know is that the 100% of votes is 160:

votes percentage

160 → 100%

and we want to know the percentage of 72 votes, which i will call x:

votes percentage

160 → 100%

72 → x

to find the x we multiply 100% by 72 and then divide by 160:

`x=(72*100)/(160)=(7200)/(160) }}=45` %

Sophie received the 45% of the votes.
