Answer: The percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit = 100%

Explanation:

Given: Total votes = 17

Total votes favored the new speed limit = 17

The percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit
=\frac{\text{Number of votes in favor}}{\text{Total votes}}*100\\\\=(17)/(17)*100\%=100\%

Hence, the percentage of the votes were in favor of the new speed limit = 100%
