Given:

A chess club with 45 members is electing a new president.

Bob received 18 votes.

To find:

The percentage of the club members who voted for Bob.

Solution:

We have,

Total number of members = 45

Votes received by bob = 18

Now, the percentage of the club members who voted for Bob is

$\%=\frac{\text{Number of members voted for bob}}{\text{Total members}}* 100$

$\%=(18)/(45)* 100$

$\%=(2)/(5)* 100$

$\%=(200)/(5)$

$\%=40$

Therefore, 40% of the club members voted for Bob.
