Answer 1

Divide the number of students who voted for the DJ over the total number of students to find the percent of the students that voted for the DJ.

Since 215 students voted for live music and 645 students voted for the DJ, the total number of students was:

`215+645=860`

Then, the percent of the students who voted for the DJ was:

`(645)/(860)=0.75=75\text{ \%}`

Therefore, the answer is: 75%
