percentage of the students voted for the athlete?

Write your answer using a percent sign (%)

Answer 1

25% of students voted for the athlete

Explanation:

First you need to know how many students are in total. In this case there is 60, 15+45

Then you write it as a fraction

`(15)/(60)`

because 15 voted for athlete out of the 60 students.

After this you need to divide 15÷60 which is . 25 then you transform that number into a percent which is 25%
