Answer 1

29% of students voted for pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage of students who voted for pizza, divide the number of votes for pizza by the total number of votes and then multiply by 100.

There were 41 votes for pizza out of a total of 141 votes.

The calculation would be (41/141) * 100.

Performing the calculation: (41/141) * 100 ≈ 0.29078 * 100

≈ 29.078%.

Rounding this to the nearest percent gives us approximately 29%.

Therefore, 29% of the students voted for pizza as their favorite food.
