Answer 2

The correct answer is %40.
Since there are 30 voters, we are looking for the percentage of students that voted for Candidate A. using 12 out of 30.
To find the percentage, we must divide 12 by 30.

`(12)/(30) = 0.4`
Then, we multiply the quotient by 100.

`0.4(100) = 40`
Leaving us with our answer, %40.
