Answer:

5% of students voted for the bear.

Explanation:

So to calculate this we have to find it out of the total number of students multiplied by 100

893 + 47 = 940


(47)/(940)*(100)/(1)

So let 47 divide 940. Then it will be;
(1)/(20)*(100)/(1) =
(100)/(20) = 5

This means that 5% of the students voted for the bear.
