Question

The students in Carmen's grade voted to select a guest speaker. 11 students voted for a famous athlete. The other 9 students in Carmen's grade voted for a famous actor. What percentage of the students voted for the athlete?

Answer 1

11 + 9 = 20 students total
11/20 = the number of students who voted for the athlete
11/20 = 0.55
0.55 x 100 = 55% of the students voted for the athlete
