Question

Isabel is running for president of the chess club, and she received 33 votes. There are 60 members in the club. What percentage of the club members voted for Isabel?

Answer 1

55%

Explanation:

Create an equation.

p = votes received / total members

Solve

p = 33 / 60

p = .55

Multiply

Multiply the decimal by 100 to convert the decimal into a whole number.

.55 * 100 = 55

Answer

55 percent of the club members voted for Isabel.

Answer 2

55% is your answer

Explanation:

Isabel received 33 of 60 votes.

Divide 33 with 60: 33/60 = 0.55

Move the decimal point to the right two place value and attach the percent sign to get the percentage.

0.55 = 55%

55% is your answer
