Question

A chess club with 95 members is electing a new president. Tony received 76 votes. What percentage of the club members voted for Tony?

Answer 1

80%

Explanation:

Part = Percent

total 100

part over total equals percent over 100, if you plug in the numbers

76/95= x/100 then you cross reduce

7600 = 95x divide both sides by 95

80=x so 80% voted for tony

Answer 2

Answer: 80%

Explanation:

Total members = 95

members that voted = 76

% of members that voted = members that voted/ total members x 100%

= 76/95 x 100%

= 80%
