Question

A classmate displays the results of a class president election in the bar graph shown. What percent of the votes does the last-place candidate receive?

Answer 1

Greg = 1 Diego = 6 Amber = 2 Rashad = 3 Chloe = 4 Total Votes = 1 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 16

1/16*100=6.25

Answer 2

6.25%

Explanation:

Lets find number of votes each person got from the graph:

** Each line is 1 vote

Greg = 1

Diego = 6

Amber = 2

Rashad = 3

Chloe = 4

Total Votes = 1 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 16 votes (voters)

Last Place candidate is the one with the lowest votes, that is Greg (1 vote). As a percentage, we would divide his votes by total number of votes and multiply that answer by 100:

`(1)/(16)*100=6.25`

So, Greg got 6.25% of the votes
