Question

If 80 out of 160 students voted for bulldog what precent of students voted for bulldog

Answer 1

To figure out percents you can set it up like:
80/160 = x%/100%
Then cross multiply:
160x = 8000; now divide each side by 160 to isolate x, and you get x = 50%
The answer makes sense, because 80 is half (or 50%) of 160
